Step 1
For painting, you must purchase the appropriate materials. Buy oil paints: white in a large tube, the rest in medium-sized tubes. For beginners, it is better to buy paints for instructional sketches. As you gain experience, you will move on to artistic paints. Store paints in a wooden box.
Step 2
Purchase a full set of brushes - 3 brushes of each number. For painting with oil, use bristle brushes, made of cow hair and synthetic.
Step 3
The next thing you need is a palette. Saturate it with oil and dry well, otherwise the palette will absorb oil from the paints.
Step 4
Place paints on the left edge at the top of the palette. Leave the middle for mixing. Each paint should always be in a certain place on the palette. White is usually placed on the right end.
Step 5
You will also need oil paint thinners: linseed oil, dammar varnish, refined kerosene, turpentine turpentine.
Step 6
Oil paints are usually painted on a primed canvas. The preservation of the drawing depends on the quality of the soil on the canvas. It is better to buy a ready-made primed canvas. Beginners can try this way. To do this, dilute the packaging of store-bought gelatin according to the instructions, cool and cover the cardboard several times.

For small paintings, at first you can use a book holder, then use an easel. It is stable and durable.
Step 8
Before you start drawing, consider how to depict what you are planning.

First, make a drawing on paper, which you will transfer to the canvas.
Step 10
Mark the image on the canvas with thin lines. Work out a complex plot in sketches.

Do the underpainting - the first layer of the painting. For underpainting, oil paint is diluted with a solvent. It is applied in a thin layer that dries quickly. Next, apply the next layer, prescribing the details, specifying the shape of the objects.
Step 12
Let each layer dry before applying a new one.
Step 13
In the final layers, linseed oil is added to the oil paints. The paint layer of the painting will be saturated and stable.
