Lol, so this will be my first ever tutorial--let me know if there are some things I need to change and/or make more clear for you. I've basically taken progress photos of a typical painting and then explained what I did in each step. This isn't necessarily meant to be a "How To" for oils (I do some things that aren't probably considered normal or even correct), but I know some of you have been waiting for something like this to come along. So here ya go! Hopefully this helps you out a little. :aww:

I love this tutorial! I've painted a few oil paintings, but without backgrounds. Thanks to this tutorial I now know how I can make the BGs as well. Thank you very, very much! :)

very nice tutorial~

I'm just learning how to oil paint. though the first class the teacher didn't have us paint, and he expects us to try and paint in oil, haha.

Thank you! I hope I was clear enough.

It's really a fun medium! Sometimes the best way to learn is to jump right in and try things. Even if they're wrong, you'll learn that and find a better way to do it. I'm sure you'll start painting in the class soon--your teacher probably wants to get a few introductory things out of the way first and maybe even show you some techniques. ;)

we painted today in class. it was pretty hard at first, at least oil painting is so forgiving, lol.

Good to hear! It'll always be an adjustment with a new medium, but you either learn to love it or hate it. ;)
