HI ktg.
Great to know abt your enthusiasm for the art.Oil paintings can be done on paper canvas,stretched cloth canvas and even on glass.though its a bit tricky to paint on glass the end result is good..
To start get some good quality oil paints .and paper canvas,. select some good designs if u r not very confident abt doing it free hand...AND ...just paint.I use linseed oil for diluting the paint and for fluidity.but u can paint directly without using any medium.the brushes have to be cleaned thoroughly as residual oil on the bristles will slowly eat on it..you get cleaning solutions too in the market or you can use turpentine .
my paintings are mainly a combination of figures i get from magazines and pamphlets.i take a face from one magazine picture ,body from some other,attires from still different pictures etc..and the end result my own indian village belles...
hope this was of some help..
Sumitha

you are really good..you need to concentrate a little on the facial expressions,facial structure..the improvement can be seen in the fourth attachment...not sure if it is your latest...

share more with us...
Hi,
thanks for the suggestions..they are valuable....no, the fourth one is not my latest.my latest is this which is yet unframed..

Dear Smita, Excellent pieces of art. Simply superb. My daughter is good at drawing and recently she started off with oil paintings and finished 2 or 3 pictures. But she is doing only landscapes and sceneries. I think it will take a long time to come to human figures. Just great. The precision i see in your works resemble that of great artists. please do post more and more. May God bless u.
