Oil paint without the turpentine headache.

Brand new, factory sealed Winsor & Newton Artisan Starter Set — six 21 ml tubes of real oil colour that thins and cleans up with plain water. No solvents, no stink, brushes rinse clean in the sink. It's the easiest way to try oil painting without gassing yourself out of your own apartment.

Colours in the box: Cadmium Yellow Pale Hue, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, French Ultramarine, Phthalo Green (Blue Shade), Yellow Ochre, and Titanium White, plus the instruction leaflet. The 21 ml tubes are the bigger starter size, so there's enough paint here for a few full paintings.

Retails for $50.95 ($57.06 with tax) — mine's $30, so you save $27 (47% off). The box has a couple of small scuffs on the corners from sitting in my storage unit (the unit is full, the boyfriend is mad, you know how it goes) — but it's sealed and the paint is untouched. Photos are the actual set; the last two are Winsor & Newton's product photos of this exact set so you can see all six tubes, since mine stays sealed.

I'm also selling the 10 x 12 ml Artisan set ($20) and the 20 x 12 ml set ($30) separately if you want the bigger colour range.
