New to this forum
Hi fellow oil painters! I'm new to this forum but not to oil painting. I've been painting for over 25 years, and I teach a class in oil painting at a local recreation center.
As soon as I am allowed, I will be most happy to post some of my work. I enjoy discussing paints, brushes, and mediums. I paint in a traditional manner, and I mainly use traditional materials.
I taught part-time evening classes at Arizona State University for 4 years, and my subject was color theory and application. Once I learned the true primary colors of pigment, such knowledge rather stuck with me, and I've put that knowledge to good use in my work.
I believe that I have many "tricks-'o-the trade", and I keep no "secrets". I share whatever knowledge I may have with anyone who wishes to obtain it.
Pleased to meet you all.

Well, I'll see if I can post some of my work here......This is a TEST.
May have a problem......All my work exists on my computer. I have no URL.

Welcome to the Artistforum Bill. I'm Terry and have been painting for only a year and a half and only started with oil paints last January. I have so much to learn so I am personally thrilled you joined the forum.
I keep my photos of my paintings on my computer also. Just use the paper clip icon to attach a picture to your post. Or you can use the 'manage attachment' link below. Well the link is below when you are putting up your post.
I think you will like it here, nothing but good folks.

Hello and welcome Bill! I look forward to seeing your work.
OK......Here goes......My first test of posting a photo of one of my paintings by using the "manage attachments" function:
This is called "Sunday Morning", and it is an 11" x 14" on stretched canvas. Yay.....it worked ! ! Thanks for the help, and suggestions, Terry!

Welcome, guy!
Folks, this fellow can paint. Period

I just love the brightness and the deep shadows. I'm often afraid of over doing the dark side, but wow it sure does make this picture. Absolutely love it.
That's amazing! I'll have to fight the urge to switch to oil after seeing this. Thanks for joining.
