Learn to paint with the oil technique by following Mia Abelson’s tips

Use quality oil paints

“Let's start from the essentials, indeed, from the basics: not all oil colors are the same. This certainly does not mean that, now that you are at the beginning, you must necessarily use the highest range oil colors, and therefore the most expensive, designed for professional or very experienced painters,” says Mia Abelson.

But you certainly can't learn how to paint in oils in a satisfying and fun way with low or low quality colors.

Mia’s first advice is therefore to buy a nice box of good quality oil colors, opting for well-known and appreciated brands such as Maimeri, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Sennelier, Schmincke and Winsor & Newton.

You will soon realize that each manufacturer offers different product lines: you should know that Mia Abelson never selects colors below a certain quality threshold, and for this reason, any choice you will make following her advice, it will be satisfactory.

So, Mia Abelson recommends to start with a package that is not too expensive, and then integrate it with other loose colors, according to your needs. In some time, when you have learned how to use oil colors to perfection, you will be able to make the leap in quality by purchasing the tubes of the high-end lines!
