    General Rules of Oil Painting

    Take small amount of paints.


    Thin your paints with liquin or paint thinner so they flow. Work on large areas first blocking in big areas of colors. Work from background to foreground.

    Work with less detailed areas first. Use brush strokes to create direction & texture.

    Eliminate details by squinting & using larger brushes.


    Stiffer bristles are better for texture and large areas

    Use slight or dramatic variations of colors in large areas to create variety and interest. Paint in details & highlights last.

    Use rags to clean brushes when blending.

    Refer to the color wheel for paint names. Clean brushed thoroughly at the end of the hour.

    No paint thinner or paint in the sinks!

    Help by bringing extra credit rags & jars.


    Check your table for paint at the end of the hour. Wear a paint shirt!
