Oil paints
All the beautiful work on here has inspired me to start thinking of oils again. It's been thirty years, but hopefully is like riding a bike. I went to a used book store today and picked up some reference books. One, a North light book on artist materials and another old one on techniques and paint, including making your own (pastels too)! My question revolves around what kind, colors and mediums to start with . I've been reading posts and at this point am confused. Everyone has different ideas. What is a good way to start? My main concern is quality over quantity, and I'm not afraid to do my own mixing. Where do I start?
