This beginning oil painting set is a remarkable value, and a wonderful gift for older students.

This complete set contains white bristle brushes with lacquered wooden handles and handy brush holders to store tools safely, and elevate them during work sessions for easy access. Twelve tubes of oil paint are included. A jar of linseed oil, traditionally used to thin and extend the thick oil paint, is also packaged with the set.

A sturdy plastic palette for mixing paints fits neatly into the case. Also included in the set are a stylus for transferring sketches or scratching texture and line into painted areas, a pencil and an eraser, a palette knife, and a lightweight cloth apron.

This entire set comes packed in a sturdy wooden carrying case...and includes a small instruction booklet. You may also wish to order a several Canvas Boards to create masterpieces. For additional instruction on how to paint with oil paints, see the great book First Steps Painting Oils.

Artists will also need a brush cleaner to preserve the excellent paint brushes. Oil paint solvents such as Turpentine, Turpenoid or Mineral Spirits are toxic and cannot be shipped by the Post Office, but are available at your local hardware store, if not already in your own paint supply cupboard.

Please note that this product is NOT labeled AP or CP non-toxic. The label features the ASTM D-4236 code and notes that the item is not suitable for children under age 3. KidsArt would additionally recommend that oil painting is only suitable for kids age 12 or older, and only with adult supervision and discussion on the safe use of art products.
