oil painting, have you tried it?  

wow!!! that's great for you and can easily make money if got the right marketing way of promoting you skills.

I love it very very very much, especially for my own portrait, let say for my real/actual size. Oh I don't know to do with oil painting, to get my picture done I have to whacks my money to pay for the oil painter.

But never very good at it, unless it was a paint by number type of deal. Plus the oil is so messy, Stencils are my best subjects, like a baseboard or a border close to the ceiling or some ceramic one/two colors, but I will leave the oil to the professionals.

I too love to paint and sketch as well. But lately i have not been doing either of them, due to lack of peaceful time and priorities that change after marriage and kids etc. But whenever i look at paints or the sketching pencils, my heart skips a beat,and i am so tempted to just start off, but i have to leave it off midways as am not able to complete my paintings. Then i resume in bits and pieces, but not with a peaceful mind.
I have been paining from a small age and loved all types of paints, oil, water colours, crayons,and have tried all of them,and prefer oil the most, as we are able to mould and reframe the picture as per our liking, add the colours and blend them and create things out of a blank canvas. Wish i could resume my paining again.

no i have not tried it,but my sis is very good at it, she has won prizes in oil painting.

I hope i may be wrong because mylot may see this as a one liner..
Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments that bound with medium of drying oil — especially in early modern Europe, linseed oil. Often an oil, such as linseed was boiled with a resin such as pine resin or even frankincense, these were called 'varnishes' and were prized for their body and gloss. Other oils occasionally used include poppyseed oil, walnut oil, and safflower oil. These oils give various properties to the oil paint, such as less yellowing or different drying times. Certain differences are also visible in the sheen of the paints depending on the oil. Painters often use different oils in the same painting depending on specific pigments and effects desired. The paints themselves also develop a particular feel depending on the media.
