If you want to support me, consider purchasing them via these links. The paints I use are ’Old Holland’ from Dutch factory ’Scheveningen’. These have a very high pigment load and are very thick. This way you can add your medium of choice, without thinning the paint too much. I usually get 225ml tubes which saves about 30%. The tubes last a long time, on average I use about 1 225ml tube a year for each color. The set I use, in the actual order I have them on my palette: Titanium white: 40ml: 225ml: Scheveningen yellow lemon: 40ml: 225ml: Cadmium yellow deep: 40ml: 225ml: Scheveningen orange: 40ml: 225ml: Scheveningen red medium: 40ml: 225ml: Alizarin crimson: 40ml: 225ml: Dioxazine mauve: 40ml: 225ml: Ultramarine blue deep: 40ml: 225ml: Transparent oxide red: 40ml: 225ml: Scheveningen green deep: 40ml: 225ml: Sap green lake extra: 40ml: 225ml: Ivory black 40ml: 225ml: Occasionally I use a small amount of this very saturated blue/green, but I don’t keep it on my palette: Scheveningen blue: 40ml: 225ml: My standard medium that I’ve been using lately, consists of equal parts venetian turpentine and linseed oil: Talens venetian turpentine W&N Stand oil W&N Linseed oil Some brushes I use: cheap hog bristles for initial lay in, similar to these: , long script liner brushes for details, eg. these Da Vinci ones: (size 10 or so). Other favorite brushes of mine are Rosemarys bristles, and Talens Van Gogh round ox hair brushes.
