I Love to Oil Paint (Student Blogger: Thomas)


I love to oil paint.  My Papa Mike is an artist and he started teaching me how to paint when I was 5 years old.  I entered my first oil painting in the CA State Fair last year and I got 3rd place. It was cool to have my painting up during the fair.

I like using the fan brush to make grass and bushy trees. I have to be very careful when I paint because oil paint will not come out of my clothes.  I have to be very careful with my paintings because they can take a month to dry.  I just entered 3 more paintings in the fair this year.  Two of my paintings are of Africa because when I was working on them I was learning about it in class. My last painting is of Big Trees State Park. I go there every summer with my family.

    Dear Thomas,
    Your paintings are beautiful! I really like the one of Big Trees State Park. It makes me want to visit there and see it in real life! About how long does it take for you to complete one painting? Amazing paintings and awesome blog post!

      It takes a couple of weeks for finish a painting. I have to wait a few days for different parts of the painting to dry before I start on the next part.

    Dear Thomas,
    Wow! Your paintings are beautiful. Do you paint from a photograph or just from your mind? I would love to see them in person. I also love that you are painting about things you are learning in school! Great blog post, too! Do you have a favorite painting?

    Dear Thomas,
    Your paintings simply amaze me. Have you taught a painting lesson in your class yet? I bet you'd be a great teacher.
