We recommend the high quality Max Grumbacher Artist Oil Colors.

Grumbacher's Max Oil Colors are identical to conventional oil colors, with one major difference - Max Oils thin and clean up with regular tap water. With Max Oils there is no need for special brush cleaners, turpentine, or mineral spirits.

Any other high quality Artist grade oil paint will also work but you will need smelly turpentine, or mineral spirits for thinning and clean up.

If you are on a tight budget the cheaper Student oil paints will work.
