Purchasing an quality Cheap Oil Paintings by an emerging or established artist is generally a very sound investment. From a purely financial standpoint, a good painting should appreciate in value over time as the artist’s standing and reputation grows. This list is for artists who want to start oil painting but aren’t sure of what paint supplies to buy. All of these items can be found at any art supply store, and are absolutely necessary for beginning oil painters.

1. Proper painting brushes
If you’re just starting out, trust me, you won’t need a ton of different paintbrushes. All you really need is a few natural bristle brushes in different sizes. I‘d suggest six: two small, two medium, and two large.

2. Newspaper
Newspaper is handy to have around when you clean your paint brushes at the end of the day, but it’s also good to use WHILE you’re painting.
Why? Because it’s important to clean your brush every time you start painting a new section or switch colors—and that‘ll happen a lot in every painting.

3. Linseed stand oil
This one might be optional but I know I wouldn’t paint without it. As you’re mixing colors you’ll find they’re easier to mix when you add a little painter’s medium. I usually pour out a few tablespoons of medium every time I sit down to paint. You won’t need much—just dab your brush into the medium before mixing colors.

4. A “palette”
When it comes to palettes, you don’t have to be fancy. For a while I used a big piece of glass. To clean it, I just took a flat razor blade and scraped all the old paint off.

5. A painter’s easel
Every oil painter needs an easel but you may not need an expensive one right at first. At the very least an easel should be adjustable to your height and securely hold your paintings, whatever size they may be.

Are you ready to paint it?
