I am about to jump from gouache and watercolors to oils. I came across this video and it was soooo helpful. Now I know what to buy and how to start. I was afraid before. You deserve a follow

my colormixing technique is unique, since i just randomly do shit

Coach, you did a great job for beginners. I can't believe you did that in 10 minutes. It took me years to learn how to paint with oils. Yep, I'm self taught. Here are a couple of my suggestions. 1. try not to squeeze out more paint than you think you will use. If you do you might be like me and stand in front of the easel wondering where you could put some more paint. Don't do that, it's a NO, NO. And one more: 2. buy a box of rubber medical gloves and wear them. If you are as messy as me it will save you a love of grief. Coach, I don't want to spoil your parade. Like I say I think you did a magnificent job in ten minutes. Hooray for you Coach. Now back to my painting. AL

Darn, I forgot to get the medium... should've watched this first. Oh well... I've been using acrylic and watercolor like oil for years. Aka why I'm finally switching. Also, I have adult money now.

There’s no quick “anything” in oil painting this is misleading.

I actually prefer Winsor and Newton, their products proved best for the most of the work.
Unfortunately, I can't get all of the things I need from them, and some non European made things proved really bad made, like sketchbooks and watercolours, but it is probably due to series or some local production standards, because overall quality is actually so good I am feeling like an idiot for even writing this. I felt like an idiot for going into store with clear comparisons and limited lists in mind, because the purchase was that complex.
What is American counterpart of these? I want to know in case I stumble upon some in store and WN isn't available at the moment.

You don’t really need paint thinner, I never use it.

Sounds too complicated for me......I need immediate gratification...

too much talk

Can one paint without Gamsol? Gamsol is toxic.

@7:40 what painting is that, and who painted it?

The one book that every painter needs is "Making Color Sing" by Jeanne Dobie. Even though it's written by a watercolorist, for watercolor painting, the lessons apply to oils and acrylics too.
The main thing to learn is color bias. Every color has a secondary color in it, that's it's color bias, or secondary color within it.
For example, to make "purple";
Ultramarine blue is blue with a red bias. Alizarin red is red with a blue bias. If you mix those two together you get a proper purple because you're mixing blue (red) plus red (blue), so only mixing two colors, blue and red.
Cobalt blue has a yellow bias, and Cadmium red has a yellow bias, so you're actually mixing three colors blue, red, yellow, so you end up with a greyed out purple.

I started today without seeing this first. But I did ok for my first time. Wish I could show you what I’ve done and get your opinion and critique

Muito boa sua explicação.
