If you're worried about toxicity, try working with the Winsor %26amp; Newton Artisan paints. The Artisan line is water miscible. This means they thin and clean up with water instead of turpentine. Turpentine is the most toxic factor in oil painting.

When choosing paint brushs, don't go cheap. Cheap brushes leave bristles in your paint and tend to lose their shape. I would recommend going with Raphael bristle brushes. They're relativly inexpensive for a quality brush and they're stiff enough for moving thick oil paint around.

Do a computer search for oil painting to get a list of what you need.


Paints, pencils, solvents, canvas, brushes, media, palette, easel are basic supplies. I recommend buying them on line for best prices.


It's difficult to get absolutely non-toxic oil paints. Cadmium reds and yellows are essential basic pigments. Most toxins are in small concentrations and they are not airborne, so you just have to remember not to put any thing in your mouth with paint on it and avoid as much as possible getting paints on your skin. You can get orderless solvents but they still can irritate your nose and skin.


Basically, you just have to be careful.
You will need a stretched canvas to paint on (approx 拢4 depending on size) oil paints, again a set of colours will be cheaper than buying separate. Linseed oil to thin the paint down when painting with it, brushes or palette knives to paint with depending on your style, rags to wipe the paint, white spirit to clean the brushes.





you could probably do this for 拢30 or there abouts if you shop around.





As for toxic paint, I thought that was now illegal and that all paints had to be non toxic...linseed oil does smell but isn`t toxic.





Good luck
The materials you need for oil painting are colors, of course. Choose faster drying colors for the first layers. This allows the first layers to dry before additional paint is applied. This is essential to achieving stability. ';Blick''; color swatches and pigment information are unique. Examine the color to find out what pigments it contains, and what the properties of that pigment are. Keep in mind, as you view color swatches online, that for many colors, your computer monitor does a better job of matching hue than chroma. It is the chroma of a color that makes it appear vivid, luminous, and brilliant.





You will need oil sticks. Hope I helped. Good Luck!
If you want less toxic I would go for water mixable oils. You need a canvas or a canvas board. You need brushes.
Paper, brushes, paint, maybe ?
