OIL PAINTING MATERIALS. To get started you need oil paints, brushes, a place to mix your colors, a tool to mix them with and a surface to paint on. Plus you want a way to clean up. The ingredients are easy to find and you don't need a lot of them. You can do a lot with a little. Good brushes and good paints are easier to use and go farther than the cheap ones.
Now lets take a look at the types of acrylic mediums and additives you can use with acrylic paint: Gloss Medium, Matte Medium, Glazing Medium, Gel Medium, Modeling Paste, Texture Gels, Retarding Medium, and Flow Improver. Few Parting Tips. 1  Always mix in the medium after you've mixed the colors together. 2  Don't use oil mediums with acrylics because they aren't compatible. 3  Some medium products claim that they can also be used to varnish your paintings. 4  I recommend you use a removable varnish as a final top coat instead of a medium.
