A Quick Introduction to Oil Painting Models
You will need:

* Brushes
* Turpentine
* Palette
* Oil Medium
* Paints

Brushes
Good quality sable brushes. Don't skimp on the quality here. Brushes will last longer with Oil paints than any other medium if looked after.
Turpentine
Turpentine is used for thinning and cleaning brushes.
Palette
I find disposable palettes where you tear off a sheet when finished the best. However you could also use porcelain plate or glass.
Oil Medium
Windor & Newton Liquin or Daler Rowney Medium No. 700. These will speed drying time of the paints and also give a slight gloss sheen. Turpentine can be used with some of the same effect.
Paints
Always use "Artist's" oils. These are the top quality in any range with better pigmentation and permanence. Worth the few extra pence. Tubes come in different sizes but oils have good covering ability and will last a long time. I have been using the same tubes since I started with oils 5 years ago. I have only had to buy more black and white.

When buying Oils there are a few points that are particular to consider.

Opacity
Sometimes marked on the tube, opacity indicates how transparent the oil is. Red/Yellows are usually the least opaque.
Permanence
Usually marked on a scale of 1 to 4 (often marked in stars). 4 being most permanent, (longest lasting).
Hue
Could be described as the Shade of the colour. Can sometimes relate to Opacity.
