How can i learn oil painting on line?
oil painting techniques

Answer

If youre painting by numbers, the screens get really expensive. Id learn offline. brbrSeriously, though this is a variation on the direct answer to your question I think a lot of people have given you some great links that I couldnt improve upon, but one suggestion I have for you is to try software like Corel Painter which is fairly reasonably priced, and Wacom stylus hardware which ranges in price from around up to thousands. Im CERTAINLY not advocating these particular brands, theyre just the ones Im most familiar with.brbrThe great thing about these is that you can practice drawing and painting using digital versions of an infinite combination of media. You can practice mixing colors in a way that helps train your eye and improve your control of line. Every type of brush, pen, sponge, palette knife I could imagine and a lot of things that I couldnt are represented in these digital tools. Ive learned a lot from working with Painter amp the stylus, amp have been able to apply that experience to working with real paints, brushes, and canvas. You can choose media that interact with each other to mimic the ways they do in quotreal life,quot e.g., watercolors bleed into each other if you want gouache is completely opaque.brbrI think the Wacom tablets come with painting software, so you may not even need to buy anything else.
