Step 1: Choose your paint
Choose if you want to work in oil, acrylic or watercolor. Whatever you decide, choose the appropriate paints for your medium.
Step 2: Get a filbert brush
Leave all of your brushes at home except for a single filbert brush. As you progress in landscapes, add and experiment with other brushes.
Step 3: Bring water and rags
Bring lots of water and rags.
Step 4: Set up your easel
In the middle of the day, go set up your easel In a comfortable location that has a good view.
The light changes the least over a given number of hours in the middle of the day.
Step 5: Sketch your drawing
Using the pencil, sketch your painting on your sketch pad. Make only very rough shapes — triangles, arcs, blobs —to give it a general look and feel.
Painting is less about the medium (paint, pastel, pencil) and more about how you create the image. Drawings use lines. Paintings use shape.
Step 6: Work out values
When you’re happy with the composition, it’s time to work out the values, or lightness and darkness. On a scale of 1 to 10, choose a key object with a middle value.
Step 7: Eye the composition
Eye your composition, or structure. What’s lighter than the object you chose? What’s darker? What’s in between and by how much?
Step 8: Choose values for all other objects
Using that value as your key, begin choosing values for all of the other objects in your composition.
Step 9: Color your key object
Once you’re done, turn to the canvas and select a color for the key object.
You will probably need to mix paints to get the value you need.
Step 10: Paint the rough key object
Paint the rough shape of your key object.
Wash your brush thoroughly between colors in your jar of water. Dry on a rag.
Step 11: Paint another object
Choose an object touching your key object. Choose a color and assign it a middle value. Paint its rough shape. Stick to the middle values, avoiding highlights and shadows at this stage.
Step 12: Keep painting
Keep working around your composition until you’ve blocked off the whole piece.
Step 13: Appraise composition
Step back and look at your composition. Does it feel right?
Step 14: Assign and develop contrast
Now go back in to your piece and begin assigning and painting colors with more accurate values for ever-smaller shapes around the piece. Your contrast will begin to develop.
Start with lighter values, then move toward darker values.
Step 15: Add shadows
Add in your shadows in. Generally, you’ll want a cooler color. Avoid pure black.
Step 16: Add highlights
Finally, add the highlights. These will be something in the family of the color of your light source, but avoid pure white.
Step 17: Sign and date the painting
When you’re satisfied with your painting, sign the front, and, when it’s dry, use a marker on the back to identify the title, place, and date.
Color theory is the practice of picking and identifying colors for specific situations, like in advertising or design.

Beginner oil paint set?
My sister has shown an interest in painting and has recently purchased an easel and canvas, however she still has no paint. So I was planning on surprising her with a set of paint tubes not knowing just how many different kinds and how many different sets there are out there. Oil paint seems best for her since it stays wet long so I need to purchase a set for her. I found these: http://www.dickblick.com/categories/oilpaintingsets/details/
Which brand is the best? Do you recommend any other sites?
Right, here’s what I would suggest. Before she decides to start on this canvas [if it's big], get her a small set of oil colours, they’re in little small tubes [I'll go through brands at the end], and let her experiment with them first. And to properly use them, buying linseed oil and turpentine is recommended. This adds up to more money when compared with water soluble oil colours – same drying time, etc, but you can mix with water just like acrylic paints. But I think the main reason for their invention was the smell that linseed/turpentine/oil paints create. But still, I have a grudge against them for some reason because they’re not ‘real’ oils, hahaha.
Anyway, as for brands/types:
I like the small sets of Reeves Oil Colour – There are 12 x 12ml range oil colours. I like this set. http://www.truroarts.com/student-quality-oil-paints/reeves-oil-paint-tube-sets/12-x-12ml-oil-colour/prod_103789.html
Also, there are large tubes, I use Daler-Rowney Georgian Oil Colour, 75ml, they look like this – http://image.misterart.com/grouppix/528×352/7000/g7400.jpg but as far as I’m aware you can get a set of 6 or 7 in smaller tubes.
And as for water soluble oils – I actually bought a couple for whatever reason, Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour.
And they look like so – http://www.studioartshop.com/acatalog/2946.jpg
My advice would be, try and find the first one I’ve shown, they would be my initial recommendation for starters.
Hope this helped somewhat. 
Here's my opinion: artistic talent is largely learned. Most of the so-called experts will argue this statement, of course. They’ll proclaim that artistic oil painting techniques are only in the grasp of those rare individuals that are born with a mysteriously God-like ability to create art. Being lowly mortals, we should never even try to understand art let alone try to create it. Give me a break! Click here For the rest of the story: Free Painting Lesson
