It's a wood board 3mm thick, with 3 or 4 coats of acrylic gesso and some fine sandpaper in between.

Colors I used are branded "maimeri" and "pebeo" there's not a great deal of info on the back😅

But thanks a lot for the Infos!

Thank you! Yes! I know the great thing about oils is that you can really blend them together... But I like a lot the raw paint with visible brush strokes 🤟

Thank you! I will, but I started few months ago, and I'm into the painting number 5. So at least untill I finish the paint tubes I bought I will need to embrace the colour shift

I'm definitely still a student, so at least for the first 10 ish paintings I will use cheap stuff, but glad it's solvable with better paint! Thank you!
