Today I had my first oil painting lesson. I have been invited to join a friend at this workshop for three months, but previous sessions clashed with my watercolour workshops. At last an opening came up ( because we have postponed our holiday to France). I was amazed at how easily and quickly very complicated pictures started to appear on the canvas, and also how easy it is to correct or alter as you go along. Flaws are quickly concealed by a flip (or two or three etc ) of a brush.
So here it is, Sue's first oil paining in the style of Anthony Goldthorpe, and thanks for such a wonderful relaxed class

Many local pubs display pictures with a price tag - yours are better than the one at the Pendle Inn!

I haven't looked at this topic for a while. I have worse paintings on my wall than yours Sue...... Could be a way of beating fuel price inflation........ I envy the skill.

eBay has a section for "self-representing artists" selling paintings but it's probably better to sell locally and build up a local reputation. If there is a craft fair on locally you might find that someone with a stand would put up your paintings on display.

Now we haven't done the day out sketching yet, but the weather has prevented that.. maybe OG exhibition is a natural follow on to the day out....there's loads of us on here paint...

What a good idea. Or have an OG presence at an established exhibition?

This is not one of my favourite paintings as I like mountains and/or water. However I am pleased with it although the photo is not the best. I am pleased that I managed the full 6 hour workshop today

Tom, have a go with watercolour pencils, if you intend trying every medium hehehe.....
The Longholme Mill was done with these, scribble away then gently brush over with water, very easy and effective and particularlyt good for flowers and things

Yes I have really taken to oils. I have bought all the kit but not yet done any at home. I am banished to the conservatory , where I can make the least damage I think, but at the moment it is full of chilli plants and geraniums. As for resting it was great to get out of the house and have a jolly good laugh and fun.
I have tried the watercolour pencils but have not had much success as yet. I actually missed a lesson on them last week when I was in hospital
