A new tool to use, and other tips in oil painting. October 05, 2015 |
Hello!Table of Contents
* How to make a straight line! Here's your latest edition of Easy Oils Blast! A blast of new information, paintings and demonstrations in oil painting. So lets get started with some really great information!
How to make a straight line!There are so many times when a really straight line is needed in your painting. If you just happen to paint pin striping on motorcycles, this is probably pretty easy for you, but for the rest of us, some can do it with a brush, most of us will have to use this device.
Drawing, your base for a strong painting.The better your drawing, the better your paintings. Until you have a great grasp at drawing with a brush, drawing your painting using a pencil will result in a stronger work, and an easier way to proceed with the rest of the work.Basic drawing lessons More complex drawing techniques
Setting the mood of you work.Did you know the overall color of your painting will determine its mood? Paint a red painting, and folks will get all fired up, paint a blue painting, well, you'll have to read the article to find out.

And of course, more of my hillbilly humor is thrown in for free! Delmus Phelps Fine Art facebook page What are they all about? This is a social media site similar to facebook, or tweeter, but it's based on images only. This is an artist's dream! Soooo many pictures, but not enough time to see them all.

Wanting to paint Photorealism?I can't tell you how many times folks send me emails concerning how this instruction has helped them paint better.

Also, in the upper right hand corner of most pages, you can find my Facebook page, and follow along activities that I post in-between ezine issues. I'm now on Twitter! I find that if you reply to me rather then direct message (DM), I'll be able to find you easier. I get so much spam these days, I rarely check my direct messages in twitter any longer. You can follow me, and I'll follow you back, but do reply to me that you are following so's I can follow you back! just tweet an "@delmus" in your tweet box!
Well I hope the information was useful to you. Future ezines will be in a similar format, just different information. Let me know what you think! Have I helped you in any way? Twitter me, or drop me an email. I would love to see some of your work! Till next time! This is Delmus Phelps wishing you a happy painting day!
