For the beginning of the study of oil painting, there is a little advice. First of all: the most painting basic and root is the need for art skills, that is, sketches and colors, which are the basis of all kinds of painting. Oil painting is based on the oil painting techniques to complete. So the best thing to draw the oil painting well is to improve the sketch and color ability. Self-study is difficult, especially for self-study art, the art of things are more subtle, need to slowly raise awareness and skills, with someone's help is the key to do well . So I think it is best to find a good teacher to guide you into the door. Second, look at some of the famous album or the original picture, read these works from the overall composition, should be carefully to taste and to grasp the details. That will be very helpful for searching these big works and find some foreign works of art website or art painting on the library. Hope that can help you.

Yes, it's good old Google translate, I suspect - really very difficult if you don't speak a language or have only a smattering, and rely on a computer to make sense of it; but I suppose if you want to say anything at all, and have nothing other than a foreign-language website to contribute to, you haven't much choice. I sort of got the point of the above - less so in one or two other comments made today, which seem to have been made just for the sake of saying something.
