Primary colors

Ok. I'm starting out. I never painted with oils in my life. I have not drawn or painted since I was 8 years old back in 3rd grade. Let's see if all those meeting room doodles I do at work can become something more than 3-D cubes and.

Santa Claus (aka my girlfriend) has surprised me with a portable wooden easel, a #10 brush (brand "Van Gogh", very inspiring), a palette and palette knife and a set of primary colors.

This is my first color set, with the 3 primary colors, black and white:
  • Phtalo manganese blue
  • Naples yellow
  • Titan rose
  • Lamp black
  • Zinc white
I suppose I can do any thing with these babies. Well, that's what the guy in the store told my girlfriend.
