I agree with Meire. I would also add to the post and tell you
not use a lot of oil when painting and its so important to do a little
and let your canvas dry frequently before adding to your picture. Drying
time as ALOT longer than if you were using acrylic paints which dry almost
immediately.
I also have a little cup or Turpintine to thin the oil. I think you
just have to experiment with the mediums to get your deired results.
Micheals has the palette shaped disposable papers. They are almost like
paper with a wax serface. Thats what I use.
I know you will do well. Let your Heart do the painting..
