I have never done an oil painted before, but a friend is giving me money for this piece.I don't really know much about oil painting. I have good brushes, a rag, and gloves - but all the other materials just cost too much!Could you please tell me how to start, what I need to dip the oil paint in/with, if I really do need turpentine or linseed oil - and if I can go without them and use my thin rag or cloth to fix belmishes
Sorry if I sound really amateur and slow/stupid, but this is really new for me, and I usually work with watercolours and acrylics. But if I really do need the turpentine, what is a cheap substitute that I can get from the household?
PLEASE HELP ME!! I don't want to be broke because of this project, and I'm not even getting paid that much for the painting
heh
AND... how long does a piece usually take to dry?
Thanks very much
*i just realized i spelt wrote things wrong on the question --
but i kind of HAVE to do an oil painting ..
hes paying me to do that sort of painting..
so no acrylics can work
