ess and frustrations of the day have disappeared and your left feeling life is good. Oil painting can make you feel good about other things too.When you have worked on a composition for days, weeks or months and suddenly you realize theres nothing more to do but sign your name you have mixed emotions. Have I missed anything, should I have done this or that different. Most of all, its surprising how good you feel about yourself when you complete a painting. Oil painting is challenging, and lets you become as good as you want to be. When you finish a composition in most cases you cant wait to start another, because of the pride you feel when you hang it on the wall. Every time you attempt a new subject or technique and finish that painting its like getting an A on your report card when you were a kid. Every time someone asks if you painted that, you almost beam with pride when you tell him or her yes. Oil painting is fun and gives you a feeling of accomplishment when you finish a composition; it makes you feel good, builds up your self-esteem and boosts your ego, as well as other things. After you have been painting for some time and you start to become comfortable with different subjects, techniques and styles you soon start experimenting. Then after you get a few paintings under your belt your imagination and creativity starts to flow. At first it starts with small details like a brush stroke or using a paint knife instead of a brush to paint your composition. Then you become bolder and you paint things in abstract or make green trees but its okay because its your world and that makes it right. The more you experiment the more creative you become and when you use your imagination its like using a muscle the more you exercise it the bigger and stronger it becomes. This release of creativity and imagination helps keep you young and active.Anybody and everybody can oil paint, it helps you relax and reduce stress, helps you build self-est...
