Oil painting for beginners will give you valuable skills in painting in oils

_______________________________ Search

Oil painting for beginners will teach you everything you need to know
to learn how to paint in oils. This online step-by-step guide will
teach you new skills in painting and give you the confidence to learn
this fun and exciting medium!

It will cover general information on different types of painting such
as landscape, portrait, and still life, to learning the elements of
putting a painting together and how to do this.

It will cover the basic art materials you will need and give
you insider tips on what works best in terms of supplies. It will teach
you different painting techniques or ways to apply the paint for
interesting effects.

I would like to share a few thoughts on my beliefs about creating art.

I believe there is no "one way" to create art. When you create it; it
is YOUR way. I don't want to tell you to paint like me, I want to help
you to find YOUR WAY to paint.

Learning to be an artist takes a life-time. You never stop learning to
get better and the more you do your art; the better it will get. You
will see the improvements as time goes by. Just keep some of your older
works and look at them again and you will see the obvious improvements
and growth you have achieved.

I believe art should have an underlying purpose - not just be a visual
candy. Some examples of these are causing an emotional reaction from
the viewer. Another under-lying purpose could be giving someone a
deja-vu experience. The art should do one of two things either touch
the heart or the head. You should get excited about it and feel like
you have really accomplished your purpose. "If you are not going to get
a thrill, how can you give someone else one? You must feel the beauty
of the thing before you start." by Charles Hawthorne

When you lose track of time working on your art you are actually
experiencing the "creative" process. I believe you will actually go
into a different state of consciousness thereby forgetting about time
and the real world. I do this and have heard that many artist have this
experience. It has to do with the "right brain" and how you go with
your art experience. "Art comes into being in that abstract interval
between a thought and reality, and no one - not even the artist who
created it - can re-measure the influences that caused it." by Edgar
Payne

It will take time and patience to work your art and at times you may be
annoyed or frustrated in the early stages of a painting. Try not to get
discouraged as you WILL improve and get better. It will take time. Give
yourself a break and don't expect a masterpiece right away. At this
time (as always), look at subject as ONLY masses of VALUE, COLOR, EDGES
in the proper place in the painting (COMPOSITION) and the appropriate
paint quality for this stage of the painting. Learning to paint is a
skill that you have to practice in order to get better. Sort of like
riding a bicycle. When you first tried to ride a bike you probably fell
off a few times but after you kept trying you eventually got the hang
of it.

I believe that if you really want to learn to paint; you will and with
your efforts you will gain skills and knowledge along the way. Becoming
an artist takes motivation and desire to learn and get better at your
art. You need to continually practice your art and learn by taking
course work and reading about art. I hope my website can give you more
knowledge and skills in becoming a better artist.

"A student first paints everything, then paints like the teacher, and
finally like themselves." - E. John Robinson

When I paint I don't just paint what I see; I try to interpret what I
see as artistically as possible. Here are some of the magical things I
can do when I paint; I can make the colors as bright or as dull as I
want; I can interpret the tones in sharp contrast or very vaguely, and
I can enlarge or reduce the shapes I see. I don't want my painting to
look like a photograph - if I did I would simply take a picture with a
camera. I want it to look like a painting. I can use the camera to give
me a reference of the scene I am painting. When I paint I want to see
the brush strokes - to be able to just "indicate" with a few brush
strokes what you are seeing as an artist and then let the viewer
interpret the image in their way - this is exciting for an artist!

You will learn the what, where, when, how and why of oil painting. For
some interesting information on the history of Oil Painting go to Art
History As you begin to paint; keep in mind that every-time you do a
new painting you will learn and get better! Be sure and bookmark this
page to check back on updates and new projects being done. Thank you
for visiting and I hope you enjoy oil painting for beginners!

Enter your search keyword(s) and the keyword "zorgium" into the search input field of http://bing.com, http://yahoo.com or http://google.com.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
