Oil paint is one of the most popular media by the artist because of its soft texture and it is slow drying time, which means you can use color for a long time to work and do mean large smooth blends of colors.

When you create an oil painting, using a set of different, your colors, so they are available to you immediately and you will not spend time opening and closing the tubes of paint as you paint. You can do many things on one line and one of the best use is a cheap wooden pallets that can save of any kind will be won.

So before you start to change the color of many colors, you must use, perhaps. Use an old paintbrush or spatula to mix paint colors on the palette. Do not use your real painting brush and that will destroy them quickly, as mixing, they need a lot of wear on the brushes. When you mix 2 colors together, do not always mix them fully and you will see the effect, and 2 basic colors that you used, but from a distance as they will have mixed-color appearance.

Some more tips for mixing and working with oil paints are:

• If you work, make sure you have a glass of turpentine prepared so that you clean the brush, while you must keep the color, then you do not pollute not the colors you use.
• Try to not more than 2 or 3 color mix otherwise you are probably a muddying of the colors and get a loss of vitality.
• Add only the media who paints in small quantities at a time, or you risk that the color of flaky and not binding properly
• When you paint on the palette on the left and it is not sticky, so maybe you can reuse up to a board or canvas, or use for painting will be discarded in the shade.

You can be really nice effects with oil, if you make the most of their properties. You can fix it and keep the mixture, and the different layers, and if something goes wrong, wipe off the paint and start again!
