The best thing about painting with oils is.. you don't have to be good at drawing. That's the truth, because I'm the other way around. I'm very good at drawing, but painting is a lot more difficult for me. I usually prefer to use colored pencils (below), or pencil & ink if I'm doing black & white. I ought to learn to paint better one of these days.

I am like you...I can draw but cannot paint. My daughter swears she can teach me to paint (she is an actual art school painting graduate) and I may take her up on it this summer.
