As a student and beginning oil painter
As a student and beginning oil painter, I realize that painting is a rewarding struggle--once the painting is completed, the student has a new measure of success. After experiencing oil painting, I was less afraid to incorporate uses of color and manipulation of technique into drawing. I also found that failure is a non-existent factor in working with oils--mistakes are simply painted over as often as needed as needed prn. See prn order. .
My fellow students have also found the oil painting experience an important part of their visual arts visual arts npl → artes fpl plásticas

Painting provides the instructor with one of the most effective means of teaching color; demonstrating the need for harmony as well as the need for continuity of color throughout a piece. Color can be a difficult concept to grasp. It is necessary for the instructor to provide information on how to mix colors and on how these colors work together. Many colors complement, accent or strengthen each other, giving the completed piece a sense of harmony. Conceptually this may be a useful tool for the artist. The painter may or may not wish to disrupt this harmony, depending on the theme he or she is trying to communicate.
Color is influenced by light. After deciding on the subject matter, the student must decide how light is going to affect both color and subject matter once on the canvas. The way in which light affects color determines the form of the object. Knowing this, the student can control the depth and dimension of the subject. The degree to which light is utilized can vary the emphasis placed on different components of the painting. For instance, a student may want to enhance the theme of a work by using strong light areas on the objects that carry the most prominence prominence /prom·i·nence/ (prom′i-nins) a protrusion or projection.

These elements,oil based paints, however, are not only relative to painting; the y are relative elements of art The elements of art are a set of techniques which describe ways of presenting artwork. They are combined with the principles of art in the production of art. [1] in general. This, in itself, may be the most important reason for providing students with the opportunity to work with oils. It enables the student to gain a new insight, a fresh perspective and an appreciation for art and its traditions. Both student and instructor will benefit from the experience, for painting serves as an essential tool in the beginnings of art as a product of conceptual processes rather than the product of imitation. This is what I have learned as a result of being well taught!
