But apparently I've choose the wrong store, because no one even paid any atention to the lost girl between the shelves. Well, maybe they've just assumed I'm an artist in a different state of mind or something... it's an art store after all:)
Anyway after a short struggle I managed to buy:
- Daler - Rowney Georgian oil paints - starter pack and few additional colours
- Winsor & Newton Drying Poppy oil - bright colours doesn't yellow when using poppy oil
- White spirit
- Few cheap brushes
- and 3 not oil related dry pigments:)
Colours I bought should give me quite a lot options when it comes to mixing, at least at the beginning:
- Some 'primary' colours: white, black, yellow, red, blue, green
- And few fleshy, reddish, brownish.
And now I'm just staring at this stuff and have no idea what to do next....;p
Here is a handful of links about oil painting, to make this post at least a bit useful:

Oh yeah! Oils are great. Used some R&D "Burnt Sepia" for weathering the sub of "The Wave out of Nowhere". Worked like a charm. But be careful ... oils can be very anoying too ... especialy on white T-Shirts!
ReplyDeleteThx for the warning:) And even I don't wear white, I'll try to be cautious with them.
