Yeah, I know hardly anything useful about the medium. I learned that white contains lead and turpenoid makes me want to vomit.

Oil painting actually cost more for me than Jewelry. The big thing with Jewelry is to know in advance that you should order from Rio Grande. They have good prices and you can split orders with others to save on quick shipping. Photography is also doable if you can borrow a camera and buy leftover supplies from those who took the class a previous semester. Oil painting left me with -nothing- useful. >_<
