Tricks And Tips For Oil Painting
Before purchasing new artwork for your home, you may want to consider creating your own oil painting. Oil Paintings are often complex, colorful, and very detailed, and can add a nice touch to one’s home. Before starting to paint with oils, some items do need to be purchased. Absolutely necessary elements include a canvas, a pencil, oil paints, a palette, brushes, and oil medium. Other items that you may want to consider include a painting easel, cleaning solution, jars, an apron, rags, drawing paper, and old sheets or newspapers that can be used for covering up furniture or floors. Before painting, it is often good to get prepared by drawing a few sketches using drawing paper. These sketches should reflect the scene or object that you want to paint, so that you can figure out how you want the painting to look. Before drawing on the canvas, some artists prefer to paint the canvas a bit with a light coat of paint to establish an undercoat of color. When this is dry, the artist will lightly draw the scene onto the canvas to help guide their Oil painting . When the drawing is done, painting can start. Basic colors are usually the first step. Because oil painting requires layers of colors unlike some other mediums, a brown building may start as simply a brown building. From there, more complexity can be added by layering on additional colors. When painting with oils, it is often best to focus on sections rather than the painting as a whole. By looking at details an artist can discover colors in objects that were not obvious beforehand. For example, a simple brown barn may be composed of many colors other than brown including reds, blues, yellows, and greens. Painting is supposed to be fun, so it can be good to try to relax and paint from the soul. Oil paint is forgiving, so if you do make a mistake you may simply want to step back and look at the whole painting. Sometimes small mistakes can be forgotten when the scene as a whole looks just right.

Why do you have to paint standing up?
I’m just getting into oil painting, and I was wondering why everyone stands up and uses an easel to paint. I have been drawing/sketching for a long time and I always sit down at a table and do it. So why cant you sit and paint a canvas on a table?
Personally I set my canvases on an easel and sit on a bar stool to paint. Some people choose to stand because they can move around more and if you’re painting a canvas that’s about as big as you are that’s a good thing to do but I personally prefer to just sit and adjust the height of my easel.
It’s an entirely personal preference thing. Personally I use an easel because it can sometimes improve drying time if the stretcher bar isn’t pressed against a table. It helps with the airflow. This only actually applies if you use bar stretched canvases. If you paint on treated masonite or canvas board, you don’t need to worry about that at all.
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
