Mont Marte Oil Paint Intro Set, 18ml x 8 Colors, Smooth Blend – Pack of 8

The set includes eight tubes of oil colors in a balanced range to cover common mixing needs and value studies. The exact color mix may vary by batch, but you’ll get a versatile palette that’s ideal for starting practice, blending, and layering.

It uses a non-toxic formula with smooth texture for easy mixing and layering, plus a slow drying time that gives you more open time to blend and refine your work—perfect for building confidence in oil painting techniques.

Primed canvas, primed hardboard, or other surfaces prepared for oil painting are ideal. Avoid unprimed or unsuitable substrates to prevent drying and adhesion issues.

You can use the paints straight from the tubes, but many artists blend them with a medium (like linseed oil or an alkyd/transparent medium) to adjust flow, drying time, and transparency. Start with small amounts and build up to achieve the desired consistency.

Clean brushes with odorless mineral spirits or a mild brush cleaner, then wash with soap and warm water. Gently reshape bristles and dry flat or hanging to maintain brush shape.

Oil paints in this set dry slowly, which enables detailed blending and layering. Open time is long enough to work transitions and glazes, with final drying taking longer depending on thickness, layer order, and environment.

Yes, the formula is non-toxic and designed for classroom and studio use. Always ensure good ventilation and follow basic safety practices, especially when using solvents or mediums.

Keep the caps tightly closed, store upright, and place them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps prevent skinning of the paint film and preserves pigment integrity.

Yes. It provides eight 18ml tubes with rich pigments and good flow, giving you a solid starter palette at a cost-efficient price. The open time and blending-friendly formula also help you learn techniques without needing immediate additional purchases.

A good starter project is a value study or still-life exercise. Begin with a limited palette to learn color mixing: lay down a light underpainting, mix local colors from the palette, and practice gradual glazing to build depth and form. Use slow-drying time to refine edges and transitions.
