Oil painting doesn't have to be difficult. You can create some very nice paintings using just a few simple techniques. The key is in understanding those techniques and practicing them. Visit my website at http://www.wilsonbickford.com and Obsidian Custom Video at http://www.obsidiancustomvideo.com

  • I'm not sure what's causing your problem. When I paint with Acrylics, I use white gesso in a similar fashion to how I used the white oil basecoat in this video. If you're not blending into a basecoat, it may be that your colors are too transparent, thus letting the canvas show through.

  • I am not painting on paper. I am using a canvas panel, which is designed for use with Oils & Acrylics.

  • These techniques will work with Acrylics, too. Obviously, because of the faster drying time, some adjustments must be made. You'll need to work somewhat faster, of couse, to blend the "wet" sky & water areas. And you'll need to substitute white acrylic gesso for the white oil base medium. Most of everything else would be about the same approach.

  • That's great! Have fun with it!
