Hello, I would like to know what is a good oil paint for figures (face paint). Right now I'm using some cheap oils and the figures dont come out just right AFTER the oil dries. Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

I use Winsor n Newton oil paits and Series 7 brushes. YouŽll find nothing better than that, believe me. IŽm mainly a figure painter and I used many many different paints and brushes. The only other paint that shows some good quality (but not that good as WnN) is the Van Gogh series from Talens.
