I have a question on painting with oil paint?
I am a beginner painter and have been painting with arcylic colors and made progress. I decided to take it to another level and paint with oil colors. I went out and bought some mineral spirits. I mixed the oil paint with mineral spirits and started painting, but it didn't look right. What the hell am I doing wrong? If I want to change colors, do I dab my brush in the mineral spirits? What am I not doing right? Any advice would be great.
Depends what "mineral spirits" you are using. You should be using artist's turpentine and sparingly. It's not necessary to totally clean an oil brush between colors, merely wiping off the previous color with a rag or kitchen towel works. You've not said which brand and grade of oils you are using and that can make a difference as to how you use them.
