LEARN OIL PAINTING LESSONS

Before you learn how to paint, you could learn how to draw. Dependin on your technique, or genre, good drawing-ability might be needful.

Or you can begin your painting "from scratch" by painting a sketch, on your canvas, with paint, instead of drawing it with charcoal, pencil, pen, or whatnot.

You can sketch the outlines, of your subject, on your canvas, or you can, instead, block in the main blocks of color, and of light, without any regard for outline whatsoever.

The latter is an approach, to oil painting, that may give to you a unique style of creating. Or the same "outline-less" sketch could be done, even after you learn to draw, because you like that technique better, than you like the line-sketch way.

Art lesson plans, for you to learn painting techniques, are as varied as the number of folks, or institutions, who offer to you art lessons in oil.

Some may teach you to stretch a canvas, before you learn to paint well upon it. Others may put the art of canvas-stretching at the end of the course.

The style of paintings, that you wish to paint, will cause a variance in your lesson plans. For example, if you desire to paint outsider art, or primitive art, your lesson plans will dramatically differ from those that will guide you in learning photorealism. Just an example.

Oil painting is generally considered to be a fine art, more often than a pop art. Oil paintings, with the right materials and preparation, can last a lon, lon time. Thus, your oil paintings, that you produce, can be marketed as an heirloom investment to your market.
