Oil Paint Supplies Australia

Oil painting materials should be chosen carefully because pigment quality, oil content, mediums, surface preparation and ventilation affect both handling and durability.

Starter checklist

  • Artist-grade oils
  • Solvent or solvent-free medium
  • Primed canvas or panel
  • Brushes and palette knives
  • Ventilation and rag disposal
  • Storage and clean-up plan

Where to buy

Start with specialist art suppliers for professional materials, education suppliers for classroom packs, and general retailers for basic items. Always compare size, grade, shipping cost and suitability.
