Everything that you would use when painting with acrylic you will need for oil painting (brushes (i like the synthetic white ones with the gel grips) , a palette, a handy towel, etc.) With oil painting you will need linseed oil and turpentine. Oil to use while painting, and turpentine to clean your brushes and anything else you get paint on. It's a little difficult but it's easier than acrylic painting in my opinion. It takes a very long time to dry, usually about a week, and for this reason it may be easier to blend, but a pain when you want to paint over something. It's really something that you have to just start doing in order to form an opinion about it.
