painting

[hi!!]

do you paint? i bought an oil set because there was this nurse person person who said i should get involved with it. so i did buy a set. i have a grandfather who was a painter. i can't remember. i don't know what to do with it. how did you get started? do you have any tips for a newbie? is it true that one shouldn't use black or green colour and instead mix blue and yellow? is this a rule? what do you paint? when did you start painting? what do you primarly paint? what's your favourite objects? how do you motivate yourself to paint? for how long have you painted?

Oils are probably not a good starter set for you, they are incredibly hard to use. I would start off with acrylic paints. Easier to use in my opinion. There shouldnt be too many guidelines or rules around painting. You paint whatever you feel like painting. ;)


Enjoy.

Get some canvas put down some thick paint and DON't move it around too much or it will turn to mud.... there are no rules.....Even Velazquez used pure BLACK........
