How many here make oil painting?  

i like oil painting a lot... i do not do that but one of my friends does them and he also takes part in the art exhibitions and earns handsomely to live with his wife and kids..he is a arts major and ... let me tell you one thing that very recently he made one of my portrait. it was so nice and lovely. some times at his place he tried to persuade me to do some of the paintings but i did try but it was not my kind of job.
he asked me after seeing my diagrams in my biology note book..... well diagrams are something different and oil paintings are something else.

hi tekka44, i love oil paints but never really used them outside of school. it takes so much time setting up and putting them away. i stuck with acrylics throughout the years because of their quick drying time and are less expensive than the oils. recently i started to paint a lot in water colours. do you paint portraits? i like to paint the human form in an abstract way. i remember oils as also being frustrating, i could work a painting so much everything ended up grey or a nasy brown!
