Yes and no, there is technique (especially with the snow on the mountains using a knife) but Ross's attitude of there's no such thing as a mistake makes it easier
I wanted to follow along so badly when I was a kid, but my mom never had the money for an oil paint set, canvases, and brushes. I suppose I could try now. Your painting looks great BTW!
This is great, I really have to dig out my painting supplies I ordered a few years ago. I started with acryl so I practice a bit before switching to oil, then RL happened and between "no time" and "I need better lightning" / "research about safe non toxic paint cleaner" I kinda forgot about it.
Do you have any modern guides with "just get this and don't overthink it" that you can recommend? With a kid at home I don't really wanna stress too much about toxic paint etc.
Toxic oil paint is caused by the heavy metals in the pigment like cadmium, cobalt, and lead. Linseed oil works as a good paint thinner and good old soap and water to clean the brushes
