I was never a great painter. I sincerely admire those who are and keep at it. Acrylic? Hard to tell. Lots of clean brushes so maybe oil and solvents? Don't see any ducting overhead so maybe not but hey you could clean them outside.
EDIT: I'm dumb you said oil. Sorry. Long day.
EDIT2: Nm. It only shows the "oil painting" part when quoting. Weird.
Your background reminds me of another music notebook my mom got me. Love the little swatches. "Raddish white" is a thing. I know that now.
Neighbor cat from two blocks away decided to use me as a perch, in my own home 
I like to keep and a very clean and lean art studio. There's an extraction fan in the ceiling, but I practice solvent free painting. I also use an oderless solvent white spirit called Gamsol which is very popular with oil painting artists. Those brush are very expensive. About $1800 for the lot. I take great care to keep them nice working order. cheers.
If it's 1800 and requires immaculate care I just burned 1800. You are better than I. Super impressed. I hope the new year brings you unique inspiration.
I love your paint storage clips! What are you using to store your brushes, I cannot determine that from the photo!
Can I please steal that photo to share with artist friends?
I store them in glass jars on a shelf. And while I'm using them I put on DIY brush holder. That photo is of them laying on a board, on the floor, in their types and sizes. You can use it. Cheers.
Foggy morning. A section of the neighbor's fence across the street is down due to recent strong winds.
Says so much with so little! ;-)

The shadows didn’t just sit on the ceiling; they seemed to seep into the plaster, turning the familiar stippled texture into a topographic map of somewhere desolate. Lying flat on his back, Elias traced the slow, bruised transition of light as it bled from a pale, chalky grey near the window into an impenetrable, ink-stained charcoal above the door. The thousands of tiny, hardened peaks of the "popcorn" finish cast microscopic shadows that shifted with the passing headlights of the street, making the entire ceiling feel like a heavy, frozen sea hovering inches above his chest. It was a landscape for the restless—a gradient of mounting weight that anchored him to the mattress while the rest of the world drifted into unconsciousness. How could he possibly let himself sleep when he was still trying to count every jagged point where he had let her down?

I was watching Antiques Roadshow and saw this:
The guy said he bought it at an estate sale for "22." He didn't specifically say $22.00, so he might have paid $2200.00. Either way, he got a great deal!
