Oil painting is a masterful painting technique that uses oil paints. However, even this art technique can't do without essential tools that can make the work easier or help achieve even better results. The basis of every painting should be treating the canvas with an oil size, which evens out irregularities in the canvas, creates an optical base for the painting and an intermediate layer between the paint and the surface. It also significantly reduces paint consumption and increases the durability of the artwork. Cobalt drier is added for faster drying, linseed oil is used to dilute colour intensity, and with turpentine oil you can not only thin paints but also clean brushes and other equipment.

For oil painting, besides paints, you'll also find a palette, brushes and painting canvas useful.
