I use watermixable oilcolors. It don't need so much time for drying like normal oil. But it's really great to paint with.
Sometimes I use uncolored structure gel (not this one like here) before I take the oil.

I use water mixables too... But it is hard to get them here. No stores sell these in my town. Van Gogh is what I can get from Tallinn...

40ml tube is 55 (or was it 65) Estonian kroons. 1€ is about 15,6 kroons... I think I can order, yes. But it is a recent update that our country is accepted by paypal -- I haven't really checked that option yet.

common ones, plus sennelier sticks, and, more and more, dry pigments with linnen oil & turpentine.

Sometimes self made pigments, red & yellow clay powder, soil made to powder in a coffe-mill or so, mixed with linnen oil. ash works, too. Sone-age colours , stone age technology at nil cost (next to nil)

linnen from flea market.

Vital only to stick to the earthen colours, iron-oxide reds & blacks, in order to achieve reasonable light-resistance. The "colourful" colours still want to be taken from the industry.
