This is a QUICK overview of oil painting, including some background, SUGGESTED SUPPLIES for getting started, and STUDIO SAFTEY. This is the first video in my series for Beginner Oil Painters. Suitable for the absolute beginner, to the artist looking for a most basic refresher. Let me know if the comments what other Beginner topics or questions you would like to see me cover in this series. I ANSWER EVERY ART QUESTION I GET so feel free to ask away in the comments. CORRECTION-- Oxidation is the correct spelling- Apparently I was using the French spelling- It looks prettier that way so maybe all is forgiven?
