Painting Materials and Accessories:

Brushes:
Hog Bristol brushes are ideal for oil painting.
Robert Simmons ‘Signet Brushes’ are good quality brushes with reasonable prices. Here are the recommended sizes: Long Handle.

Also I'd recommend a range of synthetic flats, they do the best job of describing the forms and also allow for a great range of expression.
