BASIC Oil Painting Supply List - all you need to oil paint

[@monkeyboy2297]

i bought way more equipment than i needed, but i enjoyed every bloody minute of it.

[@PartScavenger]

Thanks Mark. I'm a painter because of you

[@TheNortheastAl]

Mark, thank you for sharing your expertise so freely with the art community. I always look forward to seeing another DMP video pop up.

[@damienkearns3654]

Thank you for helping everyone starting out Mark. Your website is an absolute gift and helped me greatly when I first came upon it a few years ago, it's a unique resource for anyone who paints and your generosity with your knowledge is greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@nan0908]

I made Mark's easel and photo holder. Very easy to follow videos. I used a regular hand saw, a drill, screwdriver, saw horses and a carpenter's square. Did it by myself and I'm an older lady who isn't very strong! I'm handy, though. Don't be intimidated to make your own!

[@karlosliskovic]

by far the best content creator in terms of oil painting

[@kimmeruk]

Just started trying out your paints-the smoothest and creamiest of paints I've ever used. Just lovely❤

[@pablo_p_art]

Great video. And I found filbert brushes most versatile. About paints, I moved to water mixable oils (Cobra and Holbein), so no spirits, just water and soap to clean brushes. Actually, for traditional oils, I recommend Sennelier Green for Oils line. Plant-based thinner and brush cleaner. It's doing the job without smell.

Many thanks. I'm trying to get back to oil painting in my old age, even with my vision problems, including macular degeneration. I love your real life recommendations and suggestions and your encouraging words. I look forward to your videos.

[@lorielove7046]

Wow! Thanks so much for all the knowledgable information. Appreciate that…

[@BO-ny5mm]

Thank you for so many great advice 🤩

M. Graham walnut alkyd medium is not toxic and dries very fast. I use that instead of liquin. It's also a much thinner consistency.

[@kevinevans5782]

That’s what I use, great stuff

[@GuitarraConAndres]

That doesn't work well with the Carder method. Your rows of color will dry on your palette before you've had a chance to put them on the canvas.

[@atcustompainting]

M Graham is the only oils i use.

[@marywebb1138]

Great video. Very informative thank you, Mark😊

[@ruipratas83]

Painting is my hobby... whenever I have some time. I'm truly an amateur, an apprentice if you like, still have a lot to learn. I've seen some of your videos. They were inspiring, shall we say. The method you created was nice, even though demanding in terms of time and insistence until you would start to get a hold of it. I've improved a lot in terms of colour mixing and getting the "right colour" instead of the one that seemingly I wanted. 😏🤭😊 I thank you for that. Once, I saw in one of your older videos Mark, you were using a medium called "DELQ" medium. What exactly is that ? Is it home made, and if yes, what is it made of ? Or is it a secret recipe ? The only thing I remember, if I'm not mistaken, is that it had clove oil, which delays the time for the paint to dry. Can you or anyone help me please, and give me a clue ? Thank you.

[@rawelite242]

Thank you and great video. You mentioned a stay-wet artist palette you were developing. Will you be releasing that for sale soon?

[@jeffreybarton1297]

I've been waiting for an update on that, too.

[@universodaarte1039]

Just let your pallete inside a hermétic box with one cotton wet with clove oil the paint Will never dries

[@jeffreybarton1297]

@@universodaarte1039 Very neat 👍

[@hldedrick]

Nice video. Very informative

[@KB-lt6vw]

I would love a deeper dive video from you just on tips and tricks on seeing value. I understand the concept but struggle, I think, maybe with vibrancy and true value? Would love to hear your thoughts for a newbie who struggles with that.

[@petmouse618]

He’s got several videos on his channel covering this topic

[@kennethaquino8352]

So Your Geneva Oil Paint have just refined linseed oil and clove oil right?

[@BenKrisfield]

Unfortunately I like experimenting with lots of different ideas and using lots of tools. So I have a big palette, only because I’m working off the Munsell Color System with Gamblin Artist Oil paint.

[@rockssolid2543]

Thank you

[@Volksinformant]

Can cadmium red be used as a substitute for pyrrole rubine or permanent alizarin crimson? Does it give a similar gamut?

[@Patr100]

don't use alizarin to sub for cadmium red , AC is a violet red , cadmium red is an orange read. they aren't interchangeable

[@rdendelacruz4332]

Is staining is different to imprimatura?

[@chriswhitehouse8982]

Surprised that you said that acrylic primed canvas was the best to use; would have thought that oil primed would be best. Also, I thought you had said a while back that Geneva Fine Art was going out of business or at least not going to produce the paints anymore?

[@KB-lt6vw]

Oh I really hope not, I just discovered him like a week ago and I am saving up for these paints!

[@rdendelacruz4332]

Uhm sir, is it okay if i use medium yellow as a substitute to bismuth yellow?.....

[@LynnePriceStudio]

Bismuth is cool and medium yellow is warm.

but the problem to refined linseed oil is smell like stink

[@angusg220]

There is considerable satisfaction in refining your own linseed oil. Yes, it is a bit of a faff, but the resulting effort is worthwhile. In the UK (where it is cold and damp for most of the year), the process will take around 9 months. What I do is simply buy a 2ltr bottle of RAW linseed oil. This is transferred into 4 single litre bottles into each of which is added a couple of tablespoons of the cheapest kitchen salt and sufficient water to be able to shake the bottle up to create an emulsion. Leave it to settle for a couple of days and then shake again - do this 3 or four times - each time the settling out process is slightly shorter than before. Next siphon off the oil from the brine - don't worry of you lose some of the oil as you will be losing around half of the useless fats within the oil in the next process. This next process is to remove the salt from within the oil and the useless fats. Divide the oil between the 4 bottles and add hot plain water and shake for at least 5 minutes - hard work - allow to emulsion to separate over the next week. Siphon off the oil - repeat, again and again. Might take 10 changes of water. The result will eventually begin to see 3 distinct layers - water, fat and oil. All you want is the oil. It might be a little cloudy, but the more that the shaking and settling occurs, the clearer the oil becomes. Use a sunny windowsill to accellerate the process but the import part is really to ensure that the oil you have is VERY pure and fabulous to use.

Thank you for sharing sir
