Twenty-Seven “Mini” Free Art Lessons |
As you learn to draw and learn to paint, you’ll discover that several different
techniques form the foundation of your art – color, form,
mood, and so on. These are fundamental oil painting techniques that you will refer back to time after time. That’s why
I have chosen to include these specific oil painting techniques
as mini art lessons that you can sample.
As you will see from each of the free art lessons, you will be
learning to paint in “classical realism.” When you learn
to draw using this style, you’ll incorporate each of the
free oil
painting techniques and principles shown in the art lesson menu below.
When you enroll at our Interactive online art school, you will learn to draw
and learn to paint using these oil painting techniques under my complete guidance
and instruction. Together – with my knowledge and your passion
– we’ll unlock your creativity and develop your potential!

The Creator of the Mini Lessons Your Art Instructor,
Barry Waldman
I created the mini Lessons above. First and foremost, I am an
artist. Since my graduation from Pratt Institute in 1956, I have
been awed by each and every facet of the art creation process. I
also love to share my knowledge, and inspire a love of art (through
drawing lessons, oil painting techniques, etc.) within others.
I teach realism, and my art courses are based on the classical
training tradition of European art schools. I don’t believe in
shortcuts or “tricks” when learning to draw. I believe in making the
picture pleasing to the eye, as well as a record of a very specific
time and place. This applies to drawing, sketching, oil painting,
and other art styles.
