100 dollar budget to buy complete artist oil paint set.?

Please give me a suggestion on EVERYTHING. Currently I thought of buying M. Graham oils and raphael brushes at italian art store.com. With the mediums and brushes at dickblick.com, but I still think I can get better deals, I am not exactly a beginner and want to try out artist oils, so please help.100 dollar budget to buy complete artist oil paint set.?
If you buy some basic colors you can mix the rest. Get a couple good brushes and some cheapo ones (not too cheap of the hairs fall out and get stuck in the paint). Get a couple different mediums like turpentine and stand oil and linseed oil. Have fun!100 dollar budget to buy complete artist oil paint set.?
try buying them from http://www.ebay.com/
go to ebay!!!RUN I am a professional artist I have shaved THOUSANDS!!and buy the artist grade not the student quality...materials do matter, don't cheat yourself.
I've been told (by a professional painter) that the artist grade oils really aren't that much better than the student grade ones--they just use more natural pigments, so you're better off buying the student grade paints. I'm currently taking an oil painting class, and here are the colors I'd recommend: naples yellow, titanium white, pthalo blue, cerulean blue, ultramarine blue, sap green, burnt umber,cadmium red, alizarin red (not sure on the spelling there), cadmium yellow, raw sienna, permanent light green, and lamp black. You can also get yellow ochre, too, although I've really not used that one much. I've had pretty good luck with Utrecht, Winsdor and Newton (the Winton line), and Georgian oils.


Brushes--personal preference. We started with a set of bristle brushes, and they've done well, although I've got a couple nylon brushes that are pretty nice. I'd base your sizes on the size of your paintings--skip the bigger (size 10, 12) brushes if your not doing anything over 2 ft.


Mediums--linseed is your classic, although I've heard that liquin dries much faster. You can also use mineral spirits (cheapest).
Paint: Get student grade paint. It contains fillers and the cheap colors are hues (imitations) of true pigmented colors. When you are just learning, you won't know the difference. Get this palette: Titanium white, Cadmium Yellow Medium Hue, Cadmium Red Medium Hue, Ultramarine blue. Expand your palette as your budget expands.





Tools: Get five brushes and a trowel shaped palette knife. Get a 11x14 piece of glass to use as your mixing palette. Tape up the edges with masking tape to keep from cutting yourself. You'll need rags and three or four pickle jars, and 2 small baby food jars for mixing mediums.





Mediums: Get odorless mineral spirits as a thinner. Get a bottle of linseed oil and a bottle of damar varnish.





Books: Pick up a copy of ';The Artist's Handbook of Materials and Techniques'; by Ralph Mayer from the library.
