After some experimentation I have come up with the same "basic" colors that Kathleen uses (Rembrandt Oils) using acrylic paints. It seems the winner is Winsor & Newton Professional Acrylics. The photo below shows Atelier Interactives, Golden Open, Rembrandt Oils, and Winsor & Newton Professional acrylics. I think in person, that the W & N paint swatches are the closest to the Rembrandt paints that Kathleen uses. It is not exact but good enough for mixing. I am going to stick with acrylics right now (because of clean up ease). I need to get my mixing skills down and that is far easier to do using acrylics. Both oils and acrylics perform the same way when mixing. And, because acrylics shift in color after drying this will mean I have to focus on value mixing even closer. The photo below shows the tube for tube match up of W & N and Rembrandt paints.
