I have some ideas that I think would be best expressed with oil painting. I have a bit of experience with acrylics, but mostly in a haphazard way: abstract background stuff for my collage pieces and so on. I'm pretty weak with regard to colour theory, basic painting techniques, and so on. I'm planning to take a class, but due to some money issues that will have to wait until January.

Does anyone know any good tutorials or resources for working with oils? Also any tips or tricks you may have, especially when it comes to painting flesh and hair would be greatly appreciated. Basic tips or techniques are welcome as well.
