Range of Paints
One of the advantages of Oils is the limited number of colours that you need to start. Following is a good basic selection. It is usually possible to buy this or a close approximation of this range in an Oil Paint Beginners Set which often have smaller tubes for good value.
Basic Palette

* Flake White
* Ivory Black
* Burnt Umber
* Raw Sienna
* Alizarin Crimson
* Scarlet Lake
* Cadmium Yellow
* Chrome Yellow
* Cobalt Blue
* Ultramarine

Extended Palette

* Titanium White
* Lamp Black
* Yellow Ochre
* Prussian Blue
* Vermilion

You will notice that there are no greens in the basic selection. Another advantage of Oils is the extent to which they can be mixed. With two blues and two yellows you can mix a wide range of greens. You can of course buy Green oils for simplicity. It can be useful to have 1 or 2 as bases or to save you time. I use Emerald Green and Phtalocyanine (Phtalo) Green for these purposes. Also more than other paints you can produce Shades by adding black and Tints by adding white to the base colours.
