You can search by medium and location on the website Absolute Arts. Maybe the groups are there, too. At the very least, perhaps mentioned on the resumes of the artists that come up under that geographical location working in oil. Good luck!Anyone like to oil paint, i've ben painting for 49 yrs. looking for a group in ST%26gt; LOUIS MO.?
You must be good, but with all those years, you should know all the groups. Ask at your paint supply store.

I have an oil painting by Maria Callous/ How do I find out if its authentic?
Also what it might be worth?I have an oil painting by Maria Callous/ How do I find out if its authentic?
If she spells her last name that way in the signature, I say it's a forgery.I have an oil painting by Maria Callous/ How do I find out if its authentic?
museum, gallery, or art department of your state's university, a curator or instructor worth their salt ought to know such things. (not some strip-mall art school. state college/university professor)
You can take the painting to a dealer or auction house to have it authenticated and valued, but if it is signed by Maria Callous it is a joke and probably not worth much.
If instead it is by Maria Callas the singer, it might be better to have an auction house value it than an art dealer.
I recommend taking it to an auction house, or an art gallery. Find someone, or somewhere, that specializes in oil paintings, and is familiar with the artist's work.

I have an oil painting that is framed but not under glass. Can it be cleaned?
The mat is quite dusty but I am afraid to do anything to it because I do not want to damage the painting. Please help.I have an oil painting that is framed but not under glass. Can it be cleaned?
Yes it can be cleaned. If it is a good oil painting take it to a good gallery and they can advise you. You normally do not put paintings under glass.I have an oil painting that is framed but not under glass. Can it be cleaned?
Do not put an oil painting under glass. Humidity will collect and the paint will stick to the glass, ruining the painting.
um.... i lost after u asked if u could clean it.
yes just use a little bit of rubbing alcohol diluted with water. Then rinse off any excess with 94 octane unleaded gasoline. Oh, and make sure you have a cigarette in your mouth while you're doing all of this.
Consult a professional in art work before doing anything.
Of course an oil painting can be cleaned. But since the various colours are made of different materials, each of them will need a different method of cleaning. My advise is let an expert do it! Any arts museum have a person for such jobs. Ask them.
Sure as long as the paint is dry - If you're just paranoid you could use a dry cloth or duster - but really oil and water don't mix. I wouldn't want to get it super wet just to preserve the actual canvas but it won't hurt it to use a damp cloth all over if you wanted. Oil paintings are often displayed without any glass cover and most people just dust 'em dry.

What is Oil paint like?
meow?What is Oil paint like?
I love working with oil, though the drying time can be inconvenient. If you're wanting to give oils a try, start off with water mixable oils. Winsor %26amp; Newton Artisan oils are water mixable. This means they clean up with soap and water. No turpentine needed. This makes them much safer to use indoors as well. There are several other brands of water mixable oils, but Winsor %26amp; Newton makes the highest quality.What is Oil paint like?

Oil paint takes much longer to dry than any other medium which allows you mix colours on the palette or directly on the canvas. It鈥檚 also much thicker and richer, colours tend to be more vivid and longer lasting. My advice is don鈥檛 be afraid to experiment with oil paints, get a cheap canvas and student oil paints and go for it. If you get a bit messy it all comes off with turps.
Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments that are bound with a medium of drying oil
Oil painting is like no other painting medium if you are serious about painting, try it!

Oil paint mediums for my canvas?
do people usually put a layer of a color over the canvas before they paint an oil painting? i think its called a medium. or can i just paint right away on the canvas?aOil paint mediums for my canvas?
It depends on what kind of canvas you have. If you bought a pre-stretched canvas at the store, it is already prepped and ready to go. If you are planning to stretch you own, you need to prepare the surface by applying several coats of gesso before you paint.
I recommend thinning the gesso slightly with water and applying it with a large flat sable brush all in one direction (vertical or horizontal) and then letting it dry for at least 6 hours. When it's dry, do it again, but apply the gesso in the opposite direction (like brush it side to side on the second coat if you went up and down on the first one). Do this 4 times and then let the gesso cure for an additional 24 hours before painting on it.
If you mean do you have to use an underpainting or tinting layer, then no, you don't have to. Some artists will tint the entire canvas and others use underpainting layers (a rough painting that serves as a guide for building up the subsequent layers). Other artists find the whole idea annoying and just use a charcoal sketch as a guide and build the painting one section at a time.
I don't tint my canvases, but I do use an underpainting layer. I'm more fond of glazing to get an overall tonal effect.Oil paint mediums for my canvas?
If you paint on the canvas directly the paint will soak through the fabric. If you don't want this to happen you brush a few thin layers of something known as ';size';. (If you are a vegetarian you need to buy vegetarian size because size is made out of crushed rabbits bones.) Size is like a glue and as it dries it contracts the canvas and fills the tiny holes of the fabric allowing the surface to become taut. The tautness helps the canvas to have a firm surface to paint on and enables the painter to press firmly onto the surface without causing dents. Let each layer of the size dry and then after the last one has dried you add what's called a ';primer';. Brush on each layer of primer thinly and let it dry each time. Primer is usually white. You can use either an acrylic primer or oil primer if you are going to use oil paint. If you want what's called a ';coloured ground'; on which to paint your picture you can add a colour pigment at this priming stage or you can do a layer of your chosen pigment on top of the primer. The use of a mid colour for the ground can be used instead of white. It can be somewhere between white and black or between the lightest and the darkest of any colour you may choose from which to start your picture, the light colours of the picture are worked up to and the dark colours of the picture are worked down from this mid colour.
I recommend that you get an introductory book on it or go to an evening class to get the basics. It's great fun to do and there is a life time of learning ahead of you. Learning the basics of painting is a great spring board for, as Julia Cameron says in her ';Artist's Way'; book, ';discovering or recovering your creative process';.
If the canvas has already been sized and primd, then you can start painting.
A medium is is often added to the paint. Mediums can be linseed oil, turpentine, etc,,, each had their own use. Generally, for a traditional painting, the rule is fat over lean, meaning the first layer of paint on the canvas should be paint diluted with turpentine/turpenoid called a wash.
Sometimes I will use a light tinting color, like yellow, for a sunlit scene. You can use other colors, but I usually prefer a plain canvas that has been primed with gesso.
You can also use a product that stays wet for quite a while (Magic White) so you can paint wet-on-wet in the Bill Alexander or Bob Ross technique.
Hi Tony,
A medium is something that serves as a conection or binder.
For insteance a paint has the pigments and a binder/medium that binds the pigments together.
A medium in art, namely oil painting is also the mixing of linseed oil and turps (for insteance) that will be used to unify the different mixes.
Now, you don't mention if you have a raw canvas or an already prepared one (usually with an acrylic primer / gesso).
If it's already prepared, you can paint over it, however I like to apply more 2 or 3 coats of primer / gesso to make the surface smoother.
Some artists also like to apply a foundation white before advancing with the paint. I also do this, but usually add some pigment to tone the canvas. It all depends upon the work that I'm going to do.
This is something that you'll learn with time.
If you have any more doubts, don't hesitate to contact me. I'lll try to help you as best as I can.

Can acrylic paint over oil paint???
can i paint over an old oil painting with acrylic paint? thanks/.Can acrylic paint over oil paint???
No, you can't as it will not adhere well. On the other hand you can work with oil paint over acrylic with complete safety. In fact, most commercial canvas for oil painting are primed in acrylic.
Work over oil paint with more oil paint. The technique is simple.Can acrylic paint over oil paint???
yea as long as its dry
As long as the oil paint is dry, which takes up to a year no problem.
I often mix the two, but mostly use Acrylic as an undercoat.
Don麓t literally mix the two othewise you get a lumpy mess.
No. It will make a horrible mess.
no, because acrylic is water based, so the oil in the oil paint will come through, because the oil floats on water
no because its oil based and acrylic is water bassed it will just crack.
Dearest artist,yes you can but after one of them be dry.
I did'nt think so. But after ready some of the answers i guess you can Good luck Enjoy
If it is dry, yes. Just cover the surface with a few coats of primer first. I often use acrylic and oils on the same canvas, and while there is a chance that the oils will eventually cause some problems with the acrylic on top, I have never had this happen. Paintings that I made over ten years ago with acrylic over oil still look just fine and there has been no damage...
Good luck!

Can you put paint and oil pastels on solar panels?
im trying to do a science project and im trying to incorporate art in it, so can u paint (regular acryllic NO WATER) and put oil pastels on solar panels? would it ';blow up'; basically, is it dangerous? any pre-cautions, so can i????Can you put paint and oil pastels on solar panels?
It depends on how much of the panel you cover. If you paint a tiny little corner, then you will reduce the output by a little. But if you paint straight across the panel, even a small strip, it will effectively shut off the whole panel. Any shading of the panel is bad, shading across multiple cells is worse.Can you put paint and oil pastels on solar panels?
It would be perfectly safe.
However, the efficiency of the solar panels would be impaired. Considerably I would think.
not dangerous, but the panel would no longer work.
