Get the feel of the paint
On your palette paint 3 lines of paint, black, burnt umber and raw sienna ( or yellow ochre ) near to each other. Using a clean dry brush gradually blend the raw sienna into the burnt umber until you have a even mix with no discernible join. Clean and dry the brush and repeat for the burnt umber into black. This exercise will show you how oils stay "wet" and also the "feel" of the paint.

Try this for different colour ranges, blue to white, red to purple etc.

I would also suggest mixing some colours at this point to see the shades achievable, especially green.

Once you have a good selection of colours mixed and laid out you can try for the whole rainbow effect. The more time you spend at this stage getting to know the medium the easier it will be when it comes to painting a model.
