Everyone has a hobby, alike some might have developed love for painting. They need to gather paint supplies Sydney as discussed below:

Obviously, for painting your u must be needing oil paints. But the question arises that what types of colours you will need and what are the colours? Firstly, you mist make sire that you will be buying oil paints instead of oil paints that are water soluble.

It is necessary to have cadmium yellow, titanium white, cadmium light yellow, ivory black, ultramarine blue, alizarian crimson (permanent) and cadmium red. Some colours are not important to have but it is nice to get these colours in your collection. You can buy phthalo blue’s small tube as it is a very strong colour so no need of bigger tube. Few tubes of green like viridian as well as fee earthy browns like burnt and raw sienna, raw and burnt ochre can also be counted in good ones.

Brushes

When you are planning to start with oil paints, it is not necessary to have every type of brush. Do not put burden on your pockets. You can have any sort of round brushes ranging from small, medium to larger sizes. Once you will begin your painting sessions, you will easily know the sizes and shapes of your required brushes. No need for investing in all brushes, remember.

Mineral Spirits or Turpentine

During oil painting, you don’t need for cleaning your brushes with water instead the thinning solution of paint can be used. The substance that can be used is turpentine. Mineral spirits mixture that is odourless, can also be used as the common substitute.

A jar

For cleaning the brushes, you will need a jar to store the enamel thinner solution. A jar that contains coil that is called silicoil, is perfect. Fill it with mineral spirit or turpentine and clean the brushes by gently rubbing the brushes’ bristles for removing excess paints.

Oil medium or Linseed oil

Just like water is added for diluting water colours, you can add linseed oil for diluting oil paints without the loss of paints texture.

Rags or newspapers

After washing the brushes, cloth is needed to dry them off. But if you are changing the colours frequently, then old paper is good to increase the mileage of colours.

Palette

You should have a palette for mixing colours. It can be either ceramic or glass large piece or might be palette pages’ disposable book that will be supplied at the art supplying stores. It should be big enough to help you in mixing the colours without spreading. Thumb rule for oil painters is to have your palette nearly half of the finished canvas size.

Painting Surface

It is not confined to canvas. It can be anything as long as the surface is primed with the gesso.

Pencils

As oil paints are opaque, broad and soft tipped pencils like charcoal pencils can be used. You can paint down.

Easel can help you to paint without hunching back. You can also use in expensive tabletop or secondhand options. Remember to take care of your clothes too.
