6. Any aspect of painting in particular that you're looking for?

I think you'd learn as much from watching an oil painting video as from an acrylic painting video: In either medium, it's drawing, composition, value structure--do you know what I mean by that? Happy to explain--warm and cool colors. The technical differences are much less important.

But is there anything you're particularly eager to learn about? Portraits, landscape, still ife? Or are you more interested in learning about color or drawing, regardless of the subject matter?

If you know what you're looking for, I'll see what I can find. Meanwhile, here's a short video on warm and cool colors that I learned a lot from. He starts a painting demo a little over five minutes in, so I hope you'll stay with it if it seems like too much talk at the beginning.
