what’s the best type of oil paint to use when painting a huge canvas?

i’ve recently begun a project in which i am painting a huge canvas. oil paint is my chosen medium. the oils i currently have are nice, but i’m going to waste them all on my big canvas. what are some good, cheaper oil paints?
i have enough turpentine (about a gallon left), so i’m good with that, and i have nice brushes, but in order to create anything i need paint.
if you know this, please help.
thanks.
i like oils best.
i’m painting whatever comes to me.
i usually paint nature-ish things.

Abby,
If you want cheap go to the college bookstore and buy student grade oils. What are the dimensions of your canvas? I have never heard of a type of oils that work better in masterworks (big art). You’ll want to use glazing techniques so you don’t do a lot of work then spoil it by using too much turpentine. If you’re painting for fun or class, then use student grade oils. But if your goal is to sell the piece, then you should use high quality paints so it will last and look it’s best.
