Though this art of oil painting requires a lot of patience and time in practicing and also studying the methods, it is also very rewarding since the skill that you learn from all your hard efforts is priceless and would last a lifetime.

Before you start your journey in becoming a great oil painter, I must give you some advice that would help you go through the different situations that you would be encountering on the way. You must be open-minded. Being open-minded allows you to absorb more information that you otherwise would not if you thought that you knew a lot already. This is important since everyone has to start from a humble beginning to be able to learn and master the ar. You must also be persevering. Perseverance is being patient and dedicated at the same time. You must continue to develop your skills in painting even though you are having a hard time in practicing. These are only a few advices to start off and you would find more throughout the book.

Since you are a beginner in the art of oil painting, it is important for you to know that the process of growing from a beginner to an advanced level artist is like a funnel. A funnel in the sense that the first area is rather narrow and small and the succeeding areas begin to get wider and larger. Just like a funnel, beginner lessons in oil painting are very narrow and few but once we move into intermediate and advanced levels, you will begin to learn new techniques and skills that would be new to you. Also, your mind will be opened to the different genres in painting that you could practice and the almost infinite painting colors and techniques you will eventually understand and master.

Advanced oil painting, of course, is the largest part of the process where an artist would need to have all the essential skills to be able to create a painting with his own style and character. Creativity is also developed in the process and this skill is an essential requirement of being a great artist.

After the funnel of advanced oil painting, an artist will be open to a limitless development stage where he would work on his own identity, style and technique. This is the stage where all artists strive to be different and unique. You can build your own legacy in the world of art at this stage and, who knows, you might be the next Leonardo Da Vinci in this generation.

Some people would find the last stage of the process very exciting and challenging, but most people would feel fear since they are afraid of failure and rejection. In my opinion, I would like to share with you my innermost thoughts regarding fear. Fear is a big hindrance to your dreams; it is what blocks you from achieving what you truly want. If you want to be successful in any career of your choice, you must learn how to overcome fear and use it, to your benefit, to be able to develop your skills and your personal character.

Thank you again for downloading this book! I hope that your passion burns inside you as you read, enjoy and learn from this book.
