Many people dabble in art when they're younger only to give it up later. If you are someone that has always enjoyed art but never pursued your passion, perhaps it's time to give yourself a chance. Maybe you don't ever plan on becoming a professional artist, but there is no reason why you can't create an enjoyable hobby expressing your creativity. If this sounds like something you might enjoy, then oil painting can be a great way to go. Oil painting for the first time can be a bit of a challenge so don't be afraid to mess up. Start your experience by making sure that you have the right artist's supplies. It might be a little overwhelming at first but don't worry. You'll figure it out. First, you're going to need oil paint. Start with a few essential colors: payne's gray, zinc white, titanium white, phthalo blue, phthalo green, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, and burnt umber. Ask the attendant at the store for more personally tailored suggestions. You'll also need oil mediums for changing the consistency of your paint. You'll also need solvents for cleaning and thinning paint. The next important tool to have in your oil painting arsenal is a brush. Don't worry about getting a ton of brushes the first time around. Just get two filbert brushes to start. You can do a lot with just two brushes. You'll also need a palette knife. A palette knife is helpful for mixing colors. Don't use a brush to mix colors with because you'll end up with a dirty, goopy brush that needs washing. Brushes also waste paint. A palette knife is the best tool for the job. You can also use it to scrape wet paint of your canvas if you make a mistake. Lastly, you'll need a palette for holding your paint colors, a canvas, and an easel. Once you have the right supplies, the project will go a lot easier. Curry's Art Store Ltd. is a artists supplies Calgary offer a great selection of artist materials and solid customer service.
