Oil paintings are bright pieces that can decorate any room. They look much more spectacular than those painted, for example, with a pencil. From the artist, they require not only an investment of effort, but also considerable funds. Therefore, if you are ready to spend money, then feel free to start learning.
Instructions
Step 1
First, stock up on all the necessary materials: paints, canvas, glue, brushes, primer. Most of all will cost, of course, oil paints. Choosing the right cheaper items will be equally important though. Take particular care when purchasing a canvas. The material from which it is made directly affects the result of your work. Therefore, try to buy linen or hemp canvas.
Step 2
Don't start drawing right away, follow the established order. Previously, you must glue the purchased canvas so that the paint does not wet it through, penetrating to the wrong side. It is quite simple to make such manipulations; for this, use wood glue. At the end of the procedure, remove the canvas to the most ventilated room for drying. By the way, it is worth checking if you did everything successfully. This indicator will be the strength of the glue fold (it should not crack).
Step 3
The next step to take is priming the canvas. Without this, you will not be able to start drawing. Please note that applying the primer requires close attention and care. If you do this carelessly and carelessly, the material will not be evenly distributed and will ruin your painting.
Step 4
Now proceed with the drawing. Take your brushes and paints, and start applying strokes carefully and slowly. Do not be afraid that smudges form on the canvas (when using oil paints, this is in principle excluded, because they have a rather thick consistency). After creating the painting, give it time to dry.
