Oil Palette Layout
With the above oil colors and the oil brushes listed below you
will be able to paint the majority of the Inspiration of Painting
oil painting scenes taught in our videos.
--------------------------------------------------------
We recommend the high quality "Grumbacher Max Oil" Artist Oil Colors.
Grumbacher's Max Oil Colors are identical to conventional oil colors, with one
major difference - Max Oils thin and clean up with regular tap water. With Max Oils
there is no need for special brush cleaners, turpentine, or mineral spirits.
Any other high quality Artist grade oil paint will also work but you will need smelly
turpentine, or mineral spirits for thinning and clean up.
If you are on a tight budget the cheaper Student oil paints will work.
