Oil paintings are especially valuable because of the complexity of their execution, moreover, they can be stored longer. But the value of such pictures is not only in this. An oil painting is brighter and richer than a pencil drawing. And all young artists begin to learn to paint with paints.

Instructions
Step 1
Learning to paint in oils is a hard, painstaking journey, and not at all a matter of five minutes. First of all, you need to prepare everything for work. We start with the canvas. The canvas is the base on which the work will be done. It is made of linen or hemp, which means that it allows the brush to spring, thereby rendering energetic and expressive strokes. In addition, this material is grainy and, therefore, the paint will fit better, and the drawing will have an texture.
Step 2
The next step is to select the correct subframe. After all, it is he who provides the ideal tension of the canvas. And this is the main condition for successful painting of a canvas. The canvas is stretched, as a rule, on beveled stretchers. If these conditions are not observed, the canvas will crack over time and the painting will deteriorate.
Step 3
The next step is to glue the canvas. It is necessary in order to protect the canvas from the negative effects of paint, as well as from the fact that glue and paint do not penetrate to the wrong side. The canvas is glued with ordinary wood glue. Then it is necessary to dry it in a well-ventilated area. An indicator of a successful gluing will be the fact that the glue fold does not crack.
Step 4
Next, you need to prime the future picture. After all, the primer is the link between the canvas and the paints, because it is impossible to paint without primer in oil. But you also need to prepare the surface for applying paints wisely. If the primer is bad, the paints will fade and give matte spots in the picture.
Step 5
Now you can start painting the picture. Take the necessary paints, crayons and start creating. Draw whatever the artist's heart desires, carefully and carefully. There should be no smudges in the picture - after all, the oil paint is very thick and does not flow. The painting technique is mainly with strokes. When the painting is ready, let it dry.
