    Many sales on oil paints and brushes can be found online.  Supplies are usually delivered right to your door when you order online. I recommend online shopping at: Jerry’s Artorama, Dick Blick and many more art supply sites can be found online by googling “oil paints”. You might also look up any local dealers in your neighborhood. Student grade oil paints “Winton Oil Paints” are fine for beginners and a higher grade or Windsor Newton Oil Paints for those with a long term oil painting pursuit. Solvents might be found at a good hardware store. Canvases can now be found at Wal-Mart and Michaels stores.
