A new beginning. Oil painting

Where to start 

Before you create your first creation, you need to understand that you draw and draw a sketch with a pencil. Drawing is better to choose with great details. All small parts can be “lost” even with the most accurate oil bumps. If you want to repeat any image that you like or motive, you can transfer it to the canvas in advance, using copy paper. To do this, it will need to be transferred to a thin tracing paper, and then transferred to the canvas itself. Your sketch should be fixed with a primer or a thin layer of fixing fluid, which is sold in any shop for creativity.

How to create a sketch 

Experts advise to put a sketch of the future composition with a carbon pencil, because it is easiest to remove it from the primed surface, simply wiping it with a damp cloth. The true coal sketch must be fixed on the composition for fixing the canvas. Otherwise, it will mix with paint and give it a dirty shade. In addition, coal dust will prevent the dye from fixing on the fabric. In addition, to create an outline for painting with oil on canvas, you can circle the coal sketch with a simple pencil, sanguine or liquid paint with turpentine, and then clean the coal dust.

What tools are needed for painting with oil? 

Brushes for painting with oil should be chosen special. They should be quite stiff and elastic. They are ideal for applying various strokes and adding paint to the image of the volume, but they are quite inconvenient for interfering with the oil. For these purposes, it is better to buy a knife for the palette: a small metal spatula with a wooden handle. You will also need a tool with which you can adjust the drawing before it even dries. It may be the same palette knife, wet cloth or rubber scraper. To make it easy to draw, it is better to buy or make an easel on which you can put a canvas. The fabric itself is stretched to the frame, which also must be taken care of in advance. For the colors in the image to be bright as long as possible, they should be fixed with varnish.

Features that are important to know

Each new layer should be the same thickness or thicker than the previous one; otherwise, the oil painting may cause cracks. Three to six months after the image is completely dry, the image should be captured with a lamar-lamar. While wet paint is very easy to make a gradient. To do this, apply the hues of the strips that you want to translate one into the other, and then use a dry brush to start mixing them together, moving in the horizontal or vertical direction, respectively, the rest of the strokes. You need to work with an average brush and go from the darkest color to the lightest, and then come back with a clean brush from the light area to the middle. Add a pair of parallel stripes of the desired colors to correct the result. When working with oil paints mounting layer in any case should not be adhesive. No need to abuse paint thinners. Despite the fact that the creation of oil painting is much easier if the paint is a little more fluid than in the pipe. Where to begin

The oil painting in the pictures is always impressive and beautiful. Even if at first you do not succeed in everything, do not give up! Be creative and perhaps your picture will be admired not only by relatives, but also by visitors to world-famous art galleries.

In general, oil work is almost no different from acrylic. Especially for those who do not really understand. Unless the strength of me she pulls more. And time.
