Six large tubes give a limited mixing palette of white, yellow, red, blue, green and black. Eight smaller tubes add a second blue and an earth colour. The ten-colour set offers more earth colours and larger tubes; twelve small tubes give more colour choices with less paint per colour. Individual shades may vary within the stated colour groups. The illustrated colour chart shows the range, not the contents of every set.

Surfaces and building layers

Use primed canvas, a suitable painting panel or paper prepared for oil painting. The four standard sets contain paint; linseed oil and two brushes belong only to the gift set. The paint is not water-thinnable. Lightfastness and opacity vary by colour; check the tube markings.

Mix on a palette and work wet-in-wet or let a layer dry sufficiently before building further. Keep lower layers thinner and leaner in oil than later layers. Add suitable oil medium sparingly; more oil does not automatically make a better layer. Drying depends on colour, thickness and conditions, so do not rely on one fixed drying time.

Practise light and dark

On a prepared test surface, make five grey mixtures from mostly white to mostly black. Record the tube codes and approximate mixing ratios. Apply the patches at comparable thickness and compare them after drying. Use this scale to plan the light, middle-tone and shadow areas of a small still life before adding more colours.

Care and safe working

Follow every tube and auxiliary label. Keep out of reach of children, avoid skin and eye contact and ventilate the workspace without eating, drinking or smoking. Close tubes after use and keep paints and auxiliaries away from heat and ignition sources. Wipe excess paint from brushes before using a suitable oil-paint cleaner; water alone is not enough.

Keep paint and cleaning residues out of drains and the environment; collect them according to local waste instructions. Store oily cloths in a tightly closed metal container: crumpled cloths can self-heat and ignite.
