What are some good videos to watch teaching oil painting techniques?
I am sorry I have to say this, If you want to paint mediocre paintings watch Bob Ross or that one stroke painting painting lady. If you really want to learn how to paint there are WAY better choices out there. I just purchased a video from Timothy Tyler today as a matter of fact:

He is an amazing painter.
Find artists you like and see if they have a video. Also there are some great free videos on youtube. Here is an awesome one:

I am thinking about taking a class from him so I was glad to see this online.
Don’t just watch a video. There is more detailed info in books. I have been researching painting techniques for the last 6 years and this is one of the best books I have found:

I have a great list of books I could give you if you want to email me. Here is one of my paintings and I learned it all just by reading and watching videos.

Please, please go beyond the the Ross, you will be happy you did.
