    What a lot of faffing for a beginner - I would say you need

    Canvas - or something else to paint on

    Brush(es) - or something else to paint with

    Thinners - white spirits or something like that

    Pallet - old plate can be very useful

    Off you go!

    Yes.. you mix a little linseed oil in with your paint to thin it down which allows you to do finer detail work on your painting such as tree branches and so on.

    You mix the oil paint with linseed to make it easier to work with.

    Yes but you will be glad you did! Oil paint sucks without linseed.
