Sample Our Vital Oil Painting Techniques, Teaching Quality and Basic Art Principles With Our
Eleven “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.
