Oil Paintaztar (Part 2)

We have been working on Oil Painting for about three days and have moved on from only using black paint and water solution to adding white and oil. 
Honestly it is much more interesting having a variety of shades to choose from. The objects this time were a bit harder. A hat, a camera lens, and a camera bag.
Having the oil has given the paint a different texture but on the brush I feel no difference, is it because I am not experienced enough?

The harder the subjects I feel were more interesting to paint along with it was more interesting to look at afterwards. Unfortunately I feel like I still have to learn to paint simple objects before jumping into the more advanced things.



The third day was both the hardest and the most fun. There were only two objects that day and they were the same, although that does not mean that they were easier to paint. They were two lamps with a reflective outer and inner metal, the kind of lamp that people use in photo shoots. 
My goodness that was complicated, people said that they liked others and one said they liked my painting. I think that because we are drawing our own we do not see how good our works can be and only see them in others and become wishful. Or they could be lying but I hope its the former.
Again the more complicated the object is I see it more interesting but I am starting to get the idea that if I constantly saw something overly complicated then my eye would be either lost or get bored from the excited plain.
