Water-Base Oils and Acrylics - Karen North Wells
For oils, my preference is Artisan water-base oils by Winsor Newton plus.
Stand oil made especially for water-base oils. Stand oil gives paint a sheen plus makes them buttery in texture, quite creamy! Stand oil is NOT used with acrylics. Or you may use Linseed oil instead of Stand oil with oils. I just happen to like Stand oil.
For acrylics my preference is Liquitex.
For oils and acrylics I use pretty much the same colors as I do for watercolor except for a few differences.
Cadmium Lemon, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Yellow Medium (optional), Cadmium Orange(optional), Cadmium Red Light or Cadmium Red, Cadmium Red Medium, Alizarin Crimson(optional)(good with Viridian Green to make black), Permanent Rose (used for flowers), (French) Ultramarine Blue, Winsor Blue (Phthalo Blue), Cerulean Blue, Viridian Green (Optional, but good with alizarin crimson to make black), Ivory Black mixed with lemon yellow to make green, Titanium White (I get large tubes because this is used the most of all the colors.)
I highlighted in bold the colors I think are absolutely necessary. Others can be bought later if needed.
Canvas(stretched) or Masonite or canvas board -- I coat canvas or Masonite(without waffle-like backing) with Gesso and then undercoat painting with cadmium red light acrylic paint before painting subject. If canvas is already white, then it has already been primed with Gesso.
Brushes of all sizes and unlike watercolor, the cheaper the better- round, flat and filbert made for oil or acrylic paints
Lucite right-angle triangle (the larger the better for horizon lines)
Two jars or plastic 16 oz containers (filled with water if painting outdoors)
Paper towels

And a #1 or #2 rigger, but not necessary to start out
Paper: D'Arches Block 140 lb. cold or hot pressed (I buy blocks)
Other supplies: Masking fluid (I like "Incredible White Mask" from ASW), masking tape (if you don't use watercolor blocks), sponge or spray bottle (optional), paper towels, 2 water jars, #2 pencil, eraser (Eraser Staedtler Mars Plastic is terrific, sold at Staples)
