r/oilpainting

So to start this off, I have no interest in portraits animals ect I only like landscapes

I've found that acrylics are insanely difficult to work with but I've been discouraged by my family, including my sister who was a painter, from using oil because I am "not there yet".

I've been told oil is much harder ect but from what I've seen I wholeheartedly believe that what's been called a drawback is what would allow me to excell.

I've been told acrylics are much easier and much more forgiving ect but the thing is, the fast drying time and such is what makes it near impossible for me to use. The techniques I've learned were literally from oil painters and I can't seem to translate them to acrylics. Plus I truly just don't really want to do acrylics and it's making me lose interest in painting in general.

Hello my fellow artists.

Im new to oil painting and was thinking of trying it out.

Can you please tell me what materials should I get before I begin.

Like brushes and paints and turpentine or linseed oil. Thank you 😊

I've started oil painting more and I'm in the middle of one study. While that dries for a few days, I want to get started on another one, but I don't know where I'm going to store the new palette I start once I pause on the new piece. I use disposable palettes and I already have two palettes stored in my freezer from the first study.

If you work on multiple pieces at a time and don't have a studio to store materials in, how do you manage working on multiple pieces? Should I just get better at using less palettes by saving more space?
