I have never done an oil painting artwork thing before, but a friend is giving me money for this piece.I don't really know much about oil painting. I have good brushes, a rag, and gloves - but all the other materials just cost too much!Could you please tell me how to start, what I need to dip the oil paint in/with, if I really do need turpentine or linseed oil - and if I can go without them and use my thin rag or cloth to fix the blemishes

Sorry if I sound really amateur and slow/stupid, but this is really new for me because I usually work with watercolours and acrylics. But if I really do need the turpentine, what is a cheap substitute that I can get from the household?

PLEASE HELP ME!! I don't want to be broke because of this project, and I'm not even getting paid that much for the painting :p :( heh

AND... how long does a piece usually take to dry?

Thanks very much :)
