The set of oil paints named Prague contains ten shades in a plastic sliding tray. Any shade can be blended from this base line, making it suitable for someone who gets the first paints. However, we will eventually find that we prefer some shades over others, so it is better to buy the desired shades individually; we offer up to 61 tubes of 40 ml. Any smaller amount of paint in the tube is impractical, since the paint consumption cannot be completely reduced, especially when working with a larger format.

Along with the paints, we also need turpentine and linseed. The basic bottle of turpentine is more suitable for outdoor painting or if we are just beginning and we are not sure whether the oil painting will be our favourite technique. If we are serious about painting, it's worth it to stock up on supplies. Turpentine is necessary not only for thinning the paint, but also for washing of brushes. Carefulness is worthwhile in this regard. A good brush is a fairly expensive item and careless treatment quickly devalues it. KOH-I-NOOR offers a wide range of Kolinsky oil paint brushes.
