Wanna be an oil painter

I was taking an oil painting subject at my current formal art study, but dropped it for studying more seriously!! That sounds odd, but I realised I would need basic knowledge and skills to do the subject at my own satisfactory level. At first, I purchased "The Oil Painter's Bible" via Book Depository. The art shop located just in front of my uni has it, but it $20 more expensive than purchasing via Book Depository and shipping from UK! It took 2 weeks to receive it, but it's definitely worth waiting. I bought another oil painting textbook from Japan and I am now waiting for it (it will take 2 weeks to 2 months.) My next plan is going to an oil painting school!!! I know that is ridiculous to go to another school to do the oil subject....I am just pedantic.
