Get known to color and color mixing
Primary paint colors are not pure so you need to lean toward yellow and blue colors to make your work warm and cool . Mix primary colors to form secondary colors .
Prime your canvas
Use a thick white gesso to prime your canvas . Many artist also use rabbit skin glue for thick canvas work . some other medium can also be used for your work like linseed . You can also go with some terpeniods .
Use palette knife for mixing
By using the knife you can give a better texture to your work Students get fixated on ideas of drawing and quickly get overwhelmed by the concerns specific to oil paint––that the material isn’t dry media, that color can structure an image better than line most of the time, that the material surface is half of a painting, etc.”
Clean your brushes
It is important to clean your Brushes well after you accomplish your work . For this use paper towel and two containers during painting .
