What's the name of this painting supply I saw on TV?
I remember seeing commercials for this, and wanted to learn more. The interior painting tools are somewhat spade-shaped, for getting into corners.. basically they allow you to paint right up into corners and around trim without getting paint where you don't want it. They also have extender handles for getting up into high corners. The tray itself is like a regular paint tray, but it has a rolling cylinder in it, taking up just the right amount of paint as you roll the painting tool over it. I think I saw this on a commercial, but haven't seen it lately and can't think of the name. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!What's the name of this painting supply I saw on TV?
I don't know the name, but Home Depot has them. I've seen them there.

Oil painting art supply question?
my gf recently took an oil painting class and she really likes it so i was trying to find a starter kit or something along those lines as a graduation present..... problem i know nothing about art supplies. please help me!Oil painting art supply question?
There are kits when you go to art stores. They have the basic paint,supplies and some brushes, some come with mini palette too. Check with Blick art supply online or with Pearl art supply. You be able to order them online or just go into an art store and ask the clerk.

The best gift that I like to get is a gift card to Blick, than I can buy the things that i need. I hope it helps.Oil painting art supply question?
i'd get her a gift card for dick blick, utrecht, jerry's artarama, or your local art supply store.
picking colors for somebody else is tricky, everyone has personal preferences.
if you must by her paint, i say buy her an opaque and transparent red, blue, yellow, green, violet, and white. the back of the tube will tell you if it's opaque or transparent. example- titanium white is opaque, zinc white is transparent. anything that says cadmium is opaque. avoid colors w/ 'hue' in its name. 'hues' are combinations of pigments mixed to look like the real thing, they're cheaper than the original but bad for mixing colors, makes things muddy.
a gift card and a barrier cream (like invisible glove, helps keep toxic pigments from being absorbed into your skin and makes washing paint off of your hands easier) says i care %26amp; i want you healthy and alive
What a great idea, you are a generous boyfriend. She will already have some supplies, so rather than duplicate them by mistake, why not buy a gift card from one of the local art stores near your house? Another possibility is to buy a gift card from one of the online art suppliers. Here are some links for you:
http://www.cheapjoes.com -their goal is to be the best art supplier on the planet. They have annual art seminars in June (another great idea for her) and their own line of quality supplies.
http://www.asw.com -their goal is to be the cheapest. Because of the economy they are sending daily emails of a ';Deal of the Day';, which is always a good deal.
http://www.jerrysartarama.com -I'm not sure what they're doing with the bad economy, but they are always a responsible supplier.
maybe buy her some brushes (at Michael's or a local art store the brushes should be labeled Oil or Acrylic), a small canvas, and the basic colors - cadmium red, aquamarine blue, canary yellow, titanium white, and mars black. That would be a good start!
Italian Art store has free shipping on orders of over $150. They have kits of top brand oil colors. Prices are below Jerry's Blicks, Dan Smith etc
Ask you local art store like Miachel's arts and crafts or JoAnn fabrics... or whatever else there may be.tvs

What supplies will I need to start an acrylic painting? Thorough answers only.?
I've decided to take up painting. Since I have no prior experience, I'm not sure how long this will last, but I'm taking the plunge anyway. I'm not sure what I'll need to get started. I mean, I know I need brushes and paints and things to paint on, but what KIND/TYPE of brushes? And what do people paint on? I'm thinking I want to do acryclic painting - what kind of paints are the best? What other supplies will I need? I'm serious about this, so please be serious in your answer. Thanks. 10 points.What supplies will I need to start an acrylic painting? Thorough answers only.?
you'll need a cup for water, canvases (they come as stretched and as panels, since you are just starting out, I would recommend panels because they are less expensive than stretched canvases, which can get very expensive with size and quality), I 've seen some cool stuff on partical board (available at lowe's) which is really cheap, jsut needs to be cut, gesso for prepping canvases and adding texture if you want texture, a good pallette (I use a glass one that runs about 30 bucks, but there are plastic ones and pads of pallette paper that are pretty good too). Paint comes in jars, tubes and bottles, usually tubes are the best quality, but bottles are comparable in quality and less expensive and usually have more in them. expect to buy larger quantities of black and white overall. what type of brushes to buy really depends on your preferred type. The most common types are synthetic (a very fine plastic type of material), Sable (real fine hair from a small furry animal) and camel (real thick hair). Since you are just starting out, I would recommend synthetic since they are easier to take care of than real hair, easier to clean, etc. one thing to remember: brushes are like tattoos... cheap isn't always good and good isn't always cheap. I'm not saying go out and spend 300 bucks on brushes, but before you buy it, give the bristles a little tug to see if they fall out easily. you don't want your bristles to litter your canvas. Also, everytime after you finish painting, thoroughly clean your brushes with a mild soap and water to keep them in shape. You'll also need either some very low lint cloths for wiping your brushes while painting or a lot of paper towels. some old shirts to wear while you paint are also necessary bc no matter how careful you are, you will get paint on yourself. an easel (table top or standing) is also a great thing to have. colored chalk is useful for mapping things out on your canvas before you start painting (graphite is supposedly a big no no, but i use it occassionally, when chalk gets on my nerves bc it can't make the detail i want). another thing I find useful for keeping lines straight is the painter's tape for delicate surfaces, it won't pull the paint off, but you can still tape off a straight line. that's pretty much everything you'll need basically. If you get more into it, there's more stuff that is more technical and helpful, but you just need the basics to gett started. Good Luck!What supplies will I need to start an acrylic painting? Thorough answers only.?
well for paints acrylic is good for beginners, but my preference is oil paint. its excellent except its very messy and a finished painting could take a whole month or more to dry depending on how large it is. but if u choose oil, go with the bob ross brand, its pricey but very good, if you don't want to go too far out price wise you should go with winston brand or i forget what its called something like winston and has a little horse and carriage on the front, its also very high quality. for brushes u will need a 2 in brush, a 1 1/2 inch brush, a filbert brush, a fan brush and if u want a miniature fan brush. as far as canvases go, you should go with an 18x16 thats what i usually use. if you need instruction, you should chek out some of Bob Ross's TV shows, you could probably buy them or watch them on the WLIW Create channel. or you could buy one of his step-by-step books. well i hope you found this helpful! good luck and happy painting!!
You will need several things to start painting:
Paint: I recommend acrylics, because they are easy to clean. It is also easy to clean your brushes... Go with Red, Blue, Yellow, Brown, Black, and White in a six pack beginners set. Liquitex Basics or store brands are generally good enough to start.
Brushes: Round, Filbert, and Flat brushes; 2-3 three of each. You can use brights instead of flats if you prefer, it just means longer bristles. You want a good mix of sizes: small, medium, and large.
Surface: You can buy prestretched canvas and gesso covered masonite panels at most places. Avoid canvasboards: canvas stretched over cardboard; they warp and fall apart very quickly.
Palette: You need a smooth surface to mix your paint on. I recommend ceramic tiles from home depot or another hardware store. A six inch white tile is about 50 cents. A razor blade scraper is another two dollars.
Other Stuff: Easels are optional. You can paint on a flat surface if you want. Dropcloths are useful, unless you want to spread newspapers around t protect the floor. You can use an old plastic cup for holding rinsewater. A spray bottle is very useful for acyrlics: spray a mist of water over your paint palette to keep the paint moist.
Note: this was asked a few minutes ago by someone else.

If prices of art materials increased such as oil paints,canvases etc. wat will be the supply and demand curve?
The topic is basically the question, I know that paintings usually means that the supply curve is vertical but what if prices of art materials increase? will it effect the supply and demand curve in any way?If prices of art materials increased such as oil paints,canvases etc. wat will be the supply and demand curve?
More supply less demand.If prices of art materials increased such as oil paints,canvases etc. wat will be the supply and demand curve?
In general: 1. If supply costs increase, then the supply curve shifts up.
2. If the supply curve is vertical, a supply cost shock does not affect the supply curve.
For paintings: I would not apply the traditional supply-demand scheme here, because paintings are not homogeneous goods. Consider ';The Sunflowers'; of Van Gogh. He was not planning to paint them twice.
If you consider paintings as homogeneous goods, then the supply curve is not likely to be vertical. Consider a painter on an African market: they often paint the same painting several time for tourists and tourists buy several of them. Increasing material price will lead to an upward shift of the supply curve, meaning: a higher price and lower quantity.

What is an Art supply that looks like glue but can rub off once painted over?
I took an art class once and we were using water color paints
we also used a glue like substance that was applied with a paint brush
once it dried, you could paint over it
once that dried, you could rub it off and underneath was plain white (or whatever paper you were painting on)
what is this called?
im trying to find it but can't think of the name
thanks!What is an Art supply that looks like glue but can rub off once painted over?
Masking fluid.
You can also try rubber cement, if the paper is durable enough/project is not that important.
Also if you have large shapes you can use Reynolds Press and Seal wrap (found in the foil section in the grocery store). It works pretty well.
For nicer projects in large areas, they have professional frisket paper at art supply stores.What is an Art supply that looks like glue but can rub off once painted over?

Winsor %26amp; Newton Art Masking Fluid is a liquid with added pigmentation for masking areas of work needing protection when colour is applied in broad washes.
Winsor %26amp; Newton Art Masking Fluid should not be applied to damp paper or on soft sized papers and it is important to ensure that the paper is dry before you commence painting. For best results, do not leave on paper for too long. Art Masking Fluid can be removed with an eraser. Soapy water will remove any lingering Art Masking Fluid from your brush.

What place in the world has the cheapest bulk art supplies? Needing paper, acrylics, canvas, paints, brushes.
Odd way to post the question - you can only buy from the companies you have access to, so start looking there. I have comics on my yahoo home page, when I click on the comic to see what I've missed in the past day or two - then a whole list of artist material supplies shows up. Each different comic has different advertisers with it. This might be a place for you to start so you can compare their prices. If you are looking for bulk to supply a school, you may be eligible for a special discount. If you are looking for wholesale to stock you store, try contacting manufacturers.What place in the world has the cheapest bulk art supplies? Needing paper, acrylics, canvas, paints, brushes.

What are some essential art supplies that you feel every REAL artist (drawing/painting stuff) must have?
can you give me the brands
im talking about things like markers, pencils, paper, ect.
thanx :)What are some essential art supplies that you feel every REAL artist (drawing/painting stuff) must have?
I don't bother with brands for pencils - but I like 8B pencils for drawing. I also draw with a fountain pen and coloured ink, and a fine black pen that makes a strong line. Naturally I use charcoal, with white pastel on coloured paper, very striking.
For paint, I tend to stick to Windsor %26amp; Newton for oil colours - they are the most convenient brand to get in Ireland. I get either W %26amp; N for acrylics, or Galleria if it's handier. I tend not to use gouache unless I have very good paper for it. And watercolour also looks best with good paper, so I use Fabriano - I was in Italy last year and bought a lot of good pads. For a while I was making my own canvases, but it does save a lot of time to either have them made or to buy them readymade. Lately I've been enjoying painting on board or on canvas board - a different kind of resistance to the stretched canvas, I've found.
I also use things that are handy - carboard is okay, and you can get interesting textures also. And lately I've been having fun with collage, for which you can use just about anything that glue will hold. It's fun to use with acrylic paints.What are some essential art supplies that you feel every REAL artist (drawing/painting stuff) must have?
Every real artist has a kneaded eraser (gray and putty-like) and a white rubber eraser, I guarantee it-- they're just too useful to go without.
Most of it is personal preference. I happen to like Prismacolor colored pencils, markers etc.
Staedtler is good for drawing pencils
I like Strathmore Windpower Sketchbooks (because they're made in factories that use 100% wind power energy and the paper quality is good)
Painting, I'm not sure (I'm an illustrator, not a painter)
Percy was right. Once you get confident enough, you realize that nobody is judging you on what kind of materials you're using and once you're skilled enough, you can compensate for the shortcomings of medium-grade art supplies (although calling someone else 'low quality' is usually just a marketing ploy of the most expensive supplies)
Wallpaper lining paper is excellent for drawing on and encourages a free approach as there is so much of it that you won't get ';precious'; about your work. Charcoal also encourages a free approach and can be lifted off with white bread and fixed with hairspray. Often pencil is better for more detailed drawing.
Experiment with different media to discover what suits you but limit the number of colours you buy! Start with just 3 or 4 and learn how to mix them as subtly as possible before moving on to acquiring new colours. If you are painting in water colours it is worth buying good brushes but try some large ones as well as fiddly little sable ones- there are some quite reasonably priced Chinese ones available. Don't use your sable brushes with acrylic and make sure you wash acrylic off your brushes before it dries or you will ruin them!
For drawing, look for newsprint paper for practicing. It's cheap crummy paper, any brand is fine.
When you are ready to draw on better paper, I like the sketchpads on spirals so the pages don't fall out... either buy a pencil set or buy a range of pencils individually... The number is the darkness and the letter says how soft the graphite is. For instance, 6B means dark and soft, 1H means light and hard. Good brands of pencils are Staedtler or Derwent I think
As for paint, the most reliable acrylic brand of paint is Winsor %26amp; Newton Designers Gouache.
Well, when I started out, I had the backs of a few dozen old greetings cards, some pieces of old cardboard boxes, a couple of pencil stubs , a cheap set of poster paints and a little tin of watercolours; it's not what you've got that matters, but rather what you do with it ! Heard that song about L. S Lowry-- ' He painted Salford's smoky 'tops, on cardboard boxes from the shops' ? Well, it's true !
we all through that phase then you get confident and it doesnt matter
i have all the expensive wood stuff
but now i us a plastic tool box
and a bit of coreflute for a pallet
dont buy every paint under the sun
a visual diary and charcola pencil a 2 b pencil a putty rubber thats it
you cant buy your self to being able to draw or paint
A real artist uses whatever gives them the best result, mostly it's down to preference as to what supplies you use. It really doesn't matter what materials you use, its the talent of the artist that determines the result.

If you are painting in water colours it is worth buying good brushes but try some large ones as well as fiddly little sable ones- there are some quite reasonably priced Chinese ones available. Don't use your sable brushes with acrylic and make sure you wash acrylic off your brushes before it dries or you will ruin them!
For drawing, look for newsprint paper for practicing. It's cheap crummy paper, any brand is fine.
When you are ready to draw on better paper, I like the sketchpads on spirals so the pages don't fall out... either buy a pencil set or buy a range of pencils individually... The number is the darkness and the letter says how soft the graphite is. For instance, 6B means dark and soft, 1H means light and hard. Good brands of pencils are Staedtler or Derwent I think
As for paint, the most reliable acrylic brand of paint is Winsor %26amp; Newton Designers Gouache.
Well, when I started out, I had the backs of a few dozen old greetings cards, some pieces of old cardboard boxes, a couple of pencil stubs , a cheap set of poster paints and a little tin of watercolours; it's not what you've got that matters, but rather what you do with it ! Heard that song about L. S Lowry-- ' He painted Salford's smoky 'tops, on cardboard boxes from the shops' ? Well, it's true !
we all through that phase then you get confident and it doesnt matter
i have all the expensive wood stuff
but now i us a plastic tool box
and a bit of coreflute for a pallet
dont buy every paint under the sun
a visual diary and charcola pencil a 2 b pencil a putty rubber thats it
you cant buy your self to being able to draw or paint
A real artist uses whatever gives them the best result, mostly it's down to preference as to what supplies you use. It really doesn't matter what materials you use, its the talent of the artist that determines the result.
I have Bought an oil painting supplied on a rolled up canvas how do i frame it ?and hang it ?
I am a professional framer. I would have it done professionally. There are a lot of variables. If it has really thick paint in some areas you run the risk of the paint cracking when it is stretched. Nothing can be done about that. Professional artists will paint on the canvas when it is stretched and it will restretch much better. I see a lot of canvases that come from tourist areas and are done on the canvas that is not stretched. That presents the problem of cracking. It is hard to give you advice without seeing the piece. Your can build a frame and do it your self. I would use 1 x 2 pine. Make sure it is perfectly square. If your piece is large, you will need a brace across mid way so the sides don't bow.You have to use soft wood so you can staple into it. Pull it as tight as you can (we use a tool for stretching) and staple on the back side. If you make your frame small enough so the color comes around the edges (called gallery stretching) you can hang it without a frame. This is very popular right now. Good luck.I have Bought an oil painting supplied on a rolled up canvas how do i frame it ?and hang it ?

It's probably acrylic, which is not a criticism.
If it IS oil, you're in trouble as it will fall off the canvas when opened out.
Take it to a framer who will stretch it first then frame as desired.
If money is a problem and the painting is not worth a great deal but is of sentimental value, build a wooden frame a little smaller than the canvas and stretch the edges over and tack into place. then it can be inserted in an outer frame, however, paintings can, and are hung without an outer frame. It is unlikely that the oil paint will drop off unless it is very old, however, you should take care when doing this work. You can also use a ply board, cutting to size and tack the canvas to it. (Glue may spoil the canvas)
To hang it, buy two screw-in small hooks, attach them 2/3 of the way up each side. Stretch a length of twine between, leaving it fairy tight because it will stretch with the weight.
If it is a really good oil painting then it must be well worth having it mounted and framed professionally.
The above is all good advice, and i agree that the there is a good chance of the paint cracking if re-stretched, therefore i would offer another solution of simply mounting the canvas on board, avoiding the re-stretching altogether, you don't get the authentic 'look' of the stretched canvas but its an almost imperceptible difference anyway and the painting will be at least crack free. again it would be best to get this done by a professional
I advise you to follow DAkframe麓s advice.
I am a professional artist and the business of restreaching a canvas is not especially easy even for an experienced framer, and there is a good chance that you will damage the picture in the process.
use your common sense, get framed for you, otherwise roll out store flat between sheets of acid free paper, tissue paper is a good bet, like all your other answers you make the call wether the painting is of a value to you. you have been given some very sound advice from lots of professionals on framing and stretching a painted surface, the medium,and quality of base, and method of application all play a role in achieving a success, good luck, regards LF

I painted a mural,now the client will not pay the $730 owed for labor and supplies. All advice wanted.?
If you have a written contract or sales agreement of some kind, then you have a few options. I'd start by dealing directly with the customer that owes you the money. If they want to pay but claim to not have the money then work out a system where they pay you what they can, or demand that they get a small loan and pay you.
if they still don't pay you can take them to small claims court or look into selling the debt to a collection agency. either way you'll loose some money but you wont be out the full $730.
If all you had was a verbal agreement then you might be out of luck. Not saying you should give up, but take it as a lesson for the future. Always get a contract in writing. Get a small portion up front before performing work, and make sure that the contract specifies when payment is due. Also make sure it is clear what the customer's options are if they aren't satisfied.
Good LuckI painted a mural,now the client will not pay the $730 owed for labor and supplies. All advice wanted.?
Is the client a business ? If so, and this isn't a threat but a promise, let your client know that you're going to run an ad in your community newspaper about his non payment for work done on his business. Sounds silly, but powerful !!! Let him know that this is theft of service rendered and that you're follow up to this ad will be small claims court. Let him know that you're serious, and that this issue isn't going to just go away. I would also contact the Department Of Consumer Protection in your area, they may either be able to help you or lead you in the right direction. Stand up for yourself and don't let this client take advantage of you, get your $730 . Be sure to tell everyone about your experience with this client, hopefully you can save someone from being his next victim.I painted a mural,now the client will not pay the $730 owed for labor and supplies.

Can anyone supply me with a paint code for a black Kawasaki ER6F (2007 registered)?
I have had a bit of an accident when my motorcycle fell off the side stand and developed a few scratches. I need to obtain a paint code to respray a couple of the fairing panels.
Could anyone supply me with this code for a black 2007 registered model. It seems very difficult to obtain the code in order to purchase the paint. Kawasaki dealer will not provide the code but will provide the painted parts. A bit of a rip off really. A 拢10 job turns into a couple of hundred.
Any help would be appreciated.Can anyone supply me with a paint code for a black Kawasaki ER6F (2007 registered)?
It's supposed to be

Here's a couple of Sources in UK ,,
no recommendation--I never have used them.

Black is The Most Difficult to patch,,,it shows every flaw.
Being a Metallic makes things worse,,because that flake sets up a sort of ';Knap'; in the paint.
Use a little extra care in prep,primering etc,
And spraying as wide an area as is practical ,,,rather than a small spot,,, will blend much easier and better.
And reduce HiLighting of the repaired area.
Hope any of that helps,,,and that your project comes out very nicely.

Has anyone painted with Urethane Acrylic without air supplied respirator?
As long as you are not spraying this it has a Health Rating of 1 which is classified as ';slight.'; Adequate ventilation is all that is recommended.
If you are spraying it use a respirator. Even though there is not a toxic chemical danger, the atomized particles of acrylic will cause damage to your lungs.Has anyone painted with Urethane Acrylic without air supplied respirator?
Material date sheet seem to say that is it a fairly safe material; ';PROLONGED inhalation in a poorly ventilated are MAY cause respiratory irritation.';
Sounds pretty safe to me.tvs

How much should i bid to paint 93 trailers/mobile homes per home if materials AREN'T supplied? ?
If you're asking strangers for help on this, it doesn't sound like you're ready for this job. You could really lose your *** if you underbid this, and if you overbid it, somebody else will probably get the job.
This is a basic business kind of question, and involves things only you can best answer. How many hours labor will each unit take, how much will that labor cost per hour including overhead and taxes, how much will insurance cost, and how much risk are you in if the paint doesn't stick or whatever or if somebody gets hurt during this job or somebody claims they got sick from your paint or? Then, add in a suitable profit for having bid the job in the first place. Add in some more for the risk you're taking. Of course, add in the materials cost too, plus markup since you'll probably be paying for it up front but you won't collect until the job's done. That's how much to bid, more or less. Of course, you're usually competing against a whole bunch of other guys that are doing the same thing. Someone once pointed out to me that every bit of modern infrastructure we depend on was performed by the lowest bidder!How much should i bid to paint 93 trailers/mobile homes per home if materials AREN'T supplied? ?
I agree with 'Say it' - you need to know the date they need it commenced and finished, that will account for additional labour costs, materials, cleaning and preparation required, type of surface (ie Time and materials to patch and prime, time of year because paint will only apply and dry in certain temperatures), travel distance, do they want the work done on-site or off site? I think you had better find out about the requirements and contract before you bid - did they provide any 'Tender' specifications. Even for such things as required finishes.How much should i bid to paint 93 trailers/mobile homes per home if materials AREN'T supplied? ?
I would not be asking that here. It will vary by geographical location; material costs; hours of labor. If you can't calculate it yourself, or get help from a local qualified individual I would reconsider bidding it at all.

Which does not belong in the supply line for a paint line?
air pressure regulator, air condenser, dump trap or lubricatorWhich does not belong in the supply line for a paint line?
A lubricator adds oil to the air, which is great for air driven tools (impact wrench, air ratchet, etc.) but is not good at all for paint. The oil will contaminate the paint, and cause problems.
For painting you want clean dry air, with no moisture or other contaminants.Which does not belong in the supply line for a paint line?
lubricator,it will cause blemishes in the paint film
that,s 1 i don,t know but i gave you a star anyway.

also try Art Supply Warehouse. When I am ordering a bunch of stuff, I hate to order brushes from one company, paint from another, etc etc. The overall prices are best with ASW, they have good sales,and they have free shipping over a certain amount. AND, most of the time, what I order is in stock. Don't bother with their club though.What place in the world has the cheapest bulk art supplies? Needing paper, acrylics, canvas, paints, brushes.

dickblick.com
I spent hours last weekend researching that very question as I ordered about $600 worth of new art paints and supplies and wanted to make sure that I was getting the best deal. By far THE BEST I found is www.misterart.com. They had the best prices across the board. You can get an even better price if you put in the coupon code which is good through Dec for aditional 10% off. (Y38N74G) for purchases over $67.
I would reccomend highly the Ruby Silver brushes for acrylics. They hold their egde and don't go bad when left forgotten in water. You get free shipping over $200 and no tax if you do not live inTexas.

What basic art supplies do i need to begin painting with oil paints? ?
other than an easel? What basic art supplies do i need to begin painting with oil paints? ?
That depends on what you want to do exactly, but some things that are good things to keep on hand are odourless mineral spirits, liquin, cobalt dryer, rags, pallets (I usually just buy cheap baking pans from Wal-Mart), masking tape, pallet knives, a variety of brushes, and a lot of white mixer paint (I prefer titanium white).What basic art supplies do i need to begin painting with oil paints? ?
You need something to paint on. You can use canvas or wood- either have to be prepped with gesso. You can stretch and prep your own canvas to save money or buy already prepped canvases. If you are trying to save money, you can also gesso over old paintings you buy at Goodwill.
You need brushes. Don't buy extremely cheap brushes; hairs will fall off in the painting. I would get a med/large brush and one smaller brush. I would get flat brushes before the round brushes. Eventually you will need more but you need at least 2 to start.
As far as paint, you might find it easiest to buy the ';starter'; kit that has the most popular colors and white. That should give you enough to mix most anything you need to start. Most contain linseed oil and turpentine.
You need a pallet. The easiest is the throw away paper pallets. The cheapest is to ';borrow'; trays from you college caffeteria- but i never did that. You can use anything plastic or metal or other surface that you can squeeze the paint onto and mix on. You want something the oil won't seep through. Goodwill can be another cheap source for a pallet. I like pie tins.
You also could use old jars to hold brushes and turp. Rags are important but be careful where you store or dispose of used oily rags!!

Cheap supplies for painting on canvas?
I am looking for canvas, paintbrushes and tools, and paint?
I went online to look for some.. the canvases were pretty cheap but I was astounded at how expensive the paint was!
Is it cheaper to use acrylic or oil paint? I would like to use one of these.. could you give me links to a website that has cheap art supplies?
Thanks!!Cheap supplies for painting on canvas?
You can use either water based or oil paints on primed canvas. All the pre-stretched canvases you find online and in stores are primed with white acrylic or gesso. The less expensive paint is water based. I would suggest using acrylics.
The cheapest way to buy acrylics is in a starter set, not in individual tubes or jars. You can find several sets in craft stores like Michaels or discount art supply sites like Jerry's Artarama. If you buy a smaller set of five or six basic colors, you can mix them to make other colors (yellow and blue make green, yellow and red make orange, red and blue make purple, etc.)
