The art of oil painting.

[Rapsodia]

Hello! I am now learning to paint landscapes and would like to try to paint with oil, but I know that there are special techniques of painting with oil and each artist finds his own. Do you think it's real to learn to paint oil paintings or do you need a talent? I will be interested to know your opinion about the art of oil painting.

I completely agree with you. Oil paintings are simply incredible, I myself looked at a couple on the site https://lecadeaux.net/
But in fact, they are very difficult to do. There are a lot of factors that determine the difficulty level of oil painting.

Experience level- Everyone starts out a novice. If you've never do much a doodled on a notepad or held a paintbrush, oil painting can be a bit overwhelming. Having experience with other mediums can be very useful- so if you're adept with pencils or you've dabbled in acrylics, many aspects of oils will be easier for you (depending on your style of painting).

Practice- Your level of devotion to learning a new craft will determine a lot- if it's something you passionately pursue, putting lots of time and effort into it, you'll likely find it getting easier much faster than someone who only breaks out the brushes once a week. Doing daily sketches, small challenges to teach yourself, and keep your skills sharp will go a long way to make painting “click” for you- trust me.
