Alternatively, search youtube for "The Joy of Painting"
Then you can be perfectly happy and learn to paint.

EDIT
SO I have received a rather large box of oil paints. I have never used them. How do I use them? Do I need to add anything to the tubed paint or.. I'm unsure.

I don't right now, sadly...though thanks so much for the interest.  There are some things in the offing coming up though.  Some print projects and a show and an eventual website once I figger out how to build it and find the time.

As for oil paints, there are some great online tutorials at my favorite supply store, Curry's.  I guess it's a plug, sort of, but by no means do you have to buy anything, the tutorials are free.  they can be found here: www.currys.com

Lines:
The only reason I suggested going to a store is because I think it's easier to learn about something when it's physically in front of you.

I mean, all I ever used with oils was some galkyd lite for speeding up drying time, liquin for transparency and glazing, turpenoid for cleaning brushes, and also some of that automotive hand cleaner for getting any leftover solvent or paint out of the brushes after I was done painting for the day. But I think that would make more sense to someone who has never used oils before if I could show them the physical bottle and tell them how to gauge just how much of each thing to use.

I was searching for Bob Ross the other day on youtube and there are so many spoofs of The Joy of Painting out there! I could only find the last minute of 1 show after a laborious search. :(

There was a guy that posted entire episodes for a while, but then youtube started taking them down, bit by bit. The jerks. I want to watch Bob Ross paint, that guy is like the coolest man ever. He was in the air force and shit!
