jQuery disable right click easily
A big HELLO! Welcome to some wonderful pages on oil painting techniques. My name is Delmus Phelps and having been an artist for over 35 years, I’ve been fortunate enough to learn a few tricks of the trade, and some great oil painting tips!
I have an intro video below, so go ahead, click it. It's family friendly and doesn't last but just over a minute.
I hope you enjoyed my son's techno music (which he wrote, composed, and played). I don't think I'll be using the techno music on my instruction video's though, it causes me to do too much dancing! I can't wait for you to see my instructional video's.
While visiting my site you will learn many important things about oil painting techniques, and you’ll discover many important facts. But one in particular will be “Anyone can learn to paint!” All it takes is determination to succeed, and a passion for all things beautiful! You supply that, and I’ll do the rest!
These oil painting tips will empower you to succeed! And I will take you step by step, through the process of creating beautiful works of art, like these!
I will talk about the oil painting techniques I use today. They really are so simple and easy to do! These techniques, because they are so easy, will keep your enthusiasm high, and grow that creative excitement! You won't be worrying about what to do next. You just paint!
Flash News: Just want to squeeze in a little about an exciting expansion coming to the site. I have mentioned in last months e-zine about a drawing section, which will get pretty huge, because it is such a wonderful medium to work in. I've gotten together most of my material, and am in the process of editing, so be on the lookout. If you love drawing, and you need some helpful tips and techniques, you'll find 'em here!
The other exciting info I want to pass along is the art marketing section. This too will get pretty huge, but it is a natural expansion for those of you that have been painting along and now have run out of closet space to store your work. As I begin my search for a 3rd Gallery venue, I'm going to walk you step by step how I tackle this. I might even crash and burn! It been so long since I've pulled out these art marketing books and blown the dust off of them. I'll be looking for your input too! So keep out a sharp eye for that e-zine announcement!
Now back to the regular program:
Start your journey on the Free Art Lessons page. Here you will learn the lost oil painting technique that will enlighten your mind for the rest of your travels. It is a method that is over 400 years old, but is no longer used in the teaching of art in our schools today. Hey, I've gotten emails from fine arts graduates that tell of them being so surprised to find this site, and learn of this technique!
And don’t forget the “On the easel” section where I share what I’m presently working on. From there you can see a number of other demonstrations done in the past.
If you're signed up below, you'll be some of the first folks to see them. I send this out about once a month to let you know what is new on the site.
So, when you've found a great web-site, and you like what you've seen, but don't have the time to explore the entire site, most people will bookmark the site,(or save to favorites).
If you're like me, you've got hundreds of site's categorized in nice folders by subject. What I've found however, is a handful of sites that I would call my true favorites and visit regularly. The rest end up in their neat little folder and forgotten about unless I really have extra time to hunt them down again.
Honestly, when was the last time you cleaned up your favorites and bookmarked web sites? Some of these sites (like my web-gurus') are really important to me because of the reference information they contain. What I really like about these sites is they send periodic emails of new things, or simply a friendly hello.
I try to emulate this in my monthly e-zine with new information, or just a friendly reminder of the important reference material located here on Easy Oil Painting. Won't you join our group?
Come on in and join me on this journey of oil painting tips, and oil painting techniques, because you too have a passion for all things
beautiful!
