​OIL PAINTS
​Oils are a slow drying medium that offer vibrancy and pigmentation. Oils can be used on their own or applied to acrylic base coats. They blend easy and offer a smooth natural look.

PAINTS
Oil paints are pretty standard in terms of quality across the board. I personally prefer the Windsor & Newton Aritst's Colour. Gamblin is also a good brand. This limited palette can create all coat colours through mixing.

PALETTE
You will need a palette knife to mix colours. I prefer a short tipped one, but a longer tip may work better for you. 
Palette Knife: amzn.to/4gdFLJc

You can use a glass sheet as a reusable palette. You can also use tin foil. If you want the paints to dry up faster, cardboard absorbs some of the oil.  
Glass Cutting Board: amzn.to/4jkPtMR

Use a razor blade to scrape the palette clean when the paint has dried up.

If you prefer to save your colours, cover and seal them in a wet palette. The glass cutting boards fit nicely in these.

Blue Shop Towels are lint free! Use them to clean your palette knife.

BRUSHES
You will need a variety of brushes for oil painting as they are not washed while working. Each brush should hold each different tone of colour. 

Filbert Brushes : amzn.to/4g4DSP6
The best brushes for model painting are Filberts. Silver is a good brand in the US. I also like Royal Langnickel Zen brushes.  
Sizes 1, 2, 4, 6

Mop Brushes : amzn.to/4h501y6
Use a 1" or 1/2" Mop to blend. You will need a couple of these! Princeton brand is the best.
