Basic Oil Painting Materials
Art supplies can get expensive -- oil in particular.
But good materials make painting more enjoyable!
We do rent materials at classes, but if you really want to continue on your own, you'll want to have your own supplies.
At a minimum, you'll need:

16x20 or 18x24 canvas
A large Palette (or) Palette Paper
Paper Towels
Odorless Thinner
A table easel
Alexander 2" Blender Brush
Alexander 1" Foliage Brush
Alexander Fan Brush
Alexander Liner Brush
Alexander Palette Knife
Magic White Medium
Titanium White
Ivory Black
Alizarin Crimson
Prussian Blue
Sap Green
Cadmium Yellow
Burnt Sienna
Yellow Ochre

There are all sorts of other things you can add to this.  Sometimes other colors are nice to have, as well. 
Some things that I find nice to have include:
 
An apron
Collapsable standing easel
A paint can for holding thinner
Alexander cleaning screen for the bottom of the can
Filbert Brush
Indian Yellow
Pthalo Blue
Pthalo Green
Permanent Red

My list is by all means not all inclusive!
You'll figure out other things as you work on your own!
