RE: Creating Content as an Artist on Steemit
They are hard to use but they look so good when done correctly. I am tired of trying to make colored pencils and oil pastels look like oil painting when I should just roll up my sleeves and learn oil painting. :) The dog hair flying all over the house makes it difficult.
You can do it! You're already clearly a great painter, there's a steep learning curve with oils - people with a classical arts background will have been taught hours of oil painting. Self teaching is hard but rewarding :)
Well I did do oils years ago...but I have to relearn everything about mediums. Thank you:) You are an amazing painter!!!
I suppose learning again, although frustrating, will be fun in ways and you'll likely see some demonstrable improvement in how you visualise your work. I really don't know what the proper way to use oils is, but going by trial and error and developing your own techniques will mean your own distinct style comes through.
