A good oil painting will look like crap until it's about 65 - 75% finished. The oil paintings needs to be built up on many semi-transparent layers of paint and brush strokes. Good, simple oil paintings for sale (http://www.gallerymeeting.com) can take 6-8 weeks and the really good ones up to 8 months to finish
Part of the reason for this is that there has to be a fair amount of Van Gogh paintings (http://www.gallerymeeting.com/category-3-b0-Van-Gogh.html) on the canvas as well as a good variety of color values, and properly placed color values to get a good sense of depth. So relax, because it's impossible to get to that stage quickly, but it is worth all the effort for getting good oil painting for sale!
