FAQs
Should I wet my brush before oil painting?
This depends on what kind of technique you'd like to use in your painting. "Dry-brushing" can give a different look to your piece, whilst painting with a brush that already has some paint on it will help you blend and create gradients.
If you’re wondering whether you should add water to your brush before oil painting, the answer is no, because oil and water repel each other.
Do you need gesso for oil painting?
If you're painting onto an art canvas, you should prime your painting surface with an oil-friendly gesso. Whilst you can paint without gesso primer, oil will eventually make the canvas brittle as it gets older, and your artwork can develop cracks and eventually be destroyed. If you want to make the most of your art supplies, make sure you prime your canvas first.
What does a beginner need for oil painting?
Before you start oil painting, we recommend you have the following:
Some oil points
A brush that is suitable for artist oil paints
Turpentine or mineral spirits plus a jar for cleaning brushes
Oil mediums to dilute artist oil paints, like linseed oil
Some rags or old newspapers
A palette for colour mixing
Art materials like a canvas
24 hours set aside for drying time
What oil paint do professional artists use?
There are many different brands that professional artists use, but you can't go wrong with Michael Harding paints available at Art to Art. Handmade with some incredible pigments, they're an investment but look absolutely incredible, and worthy of a seasoned professional.
