Oil Painting Supplies?
My mother has said she wants to try oil painting. I'd like to buy her the things she needs to get started for Christmas. I don't know a thing about oil painting, can anyone suggest what I need to get for her? She tole paints already, can she use the same brushes or does she need a special kind. I also don't know what she needs to paint on, can she use oil paint on anything or do i need to buy her special type of paper or canvas?
Go to a craft store like Michael's and pick up a few brushes. Maybe 2 rounds in different sizes and 2 flats in different sizes. Then get a small oil paint kit that has an array of colors. She will need a medium which is like an oil that mixes with the oil paint to make it the right consistency for painting. A small thing of Liquin for Oils would be a good start because it makes the oils dry faster.
There is a product called Canvas Paper. You get about 10 sheets for a great price. This is perfect for the beginner because they don't take up much room (like stretched canvas) and are easily framed. Plus if she does a couple paintings that she doesn't like she won't feel bad trashing the canvas paper because its not expensive.
I typically tape my canvas paper on to a piece of wood so that it can be propped up making the painting easier. She could use masking tape around the edges to secure the canvas paper to the board. BTW, with canvas paper the surface is already primed for paint so no need for Gesso.
Then once her skills improve she can move on to higher quality paints, brushes, and stretched canvas.
