The secret to getting oil paint on a budget! š¤« I just shared a video explaining some of the reasons why oils are more expensive than other types of paint. But I donāt want people to get disheartened to try oil paints because of the cost. It is DEFINITELY possible to use oils on a tight budget!! Here are my recommendations: 1 minimalist palette - quality over quantity: a limited colour palate can give a painting better colour harmony as well as being cost effective. 2 alternative pigments: the price of paint colours is mostly determined by the pigments. So cheaper pigments arenāt worse quality just cheaper to produce. So select colours for your limited palette that are cheaper. 3 efficient technique: some techniques like acrylic underpainting or glazing can reduce the amount of oil paint you use without reducing the technical quality of the paintings. 4 smart shopping: eg second hand paint or art supply trades. 5 student paint/hues: this may reduce the quality of the paint you use but tbh itās much better to use lesser quality paint & make amazing art than to wait until you can afford more expensive materials. My personal recommendation is to buy fewer artist quality paints but it also depends on your style and the amount of paint you get through! Finally the more you can get to know the ingredients in your painting by reading the label the more u can actually know what your buying & make money saving decisions.
