Is there anyone who draw oil painting or like oil painting?
Maybe we can make friends.

I like oil painting but I am sorry that I can't draw oil painting well. I think the oil painting about scenery attracts me..Hi Sunflowers. I am. What do you like to paint?
Same hereNot any more.
There was a time when I tried drawing. Drawing with pencil on paper and digital drawing and painting as well. While an art teacher told me that I have no talent when I was a kid, I found out that even I can learn and make progress. Seeing my personal progress made me happy. Even though I wasn't really good at drawing or painting.
But somehow I feel that I am done with this for now. I still can see the world through the eyes of an artist, you know what I mean, when everything is just a play of light and shadows so that even a trashcan or an ashtray suddenly becomes beautiful to behold... yet still, I am done. I do not feel frustrated anymore that I cannot draw or paint like a master and never will. I still can appreciate art. And music. And literature.
There are water based oil colours now which dry faster than usual oils but slower than acrylics. Great thing is you can blend both water based oils and acrylics. Maybe gouache and water colours too, and of course use different types of paints for different things and for different effects in the same picture.I'm an artist as well. Though I like the texture of oil paint I've never dabbled much into oil painting since I know it takes a long time for oil paintings to dry. However, my uncle has done oil painting before and my aunt would do paint by number with oil paints when she was a teen.
Thanks I might want to look into those. I usually do more drawing and illustration then painting but I do like painting as well.There are water based oil colours now which dry faster than usual oils but slower than acrylics.

Mind, all paints are expensive, even if you just buy the basic rainbow colours and mix your own colours and shades. However, the good news if you haven't seen is that you tube has so many excellent video tutorials, many using less expensive pencils, and pen and ink to amazing and satisfying effect
Yesterday, I saw 'leaf art'. Amazing. I called up more on google imagesThanks I might want to look into those. I usually do more drawing and illustration then painting but I do like painting as well.
I Do!!! I do acrylic painting mostly because i am messy and tend to get oil paint everywhere. But i prefer oil paint because of the vivid colir and longer working time. I also draw and work with clay. I do anything in art that catches my attentio . oh and I've done a book cover tooIs there anyone who draw oil painting or like oil painting?
