Learning how to paint?

Is there any good dvds on learning how to paint? I want yo start a new hobby. How do you learn to paint? I live in the Los Angeles , Culver City area.Learning how to paint?
I'm sure there are some good dvds but why not try books from your local library. There are two kinds of books that helped me achieve my goal to become a traditional oil painter, those that teach you about artist materials and their uses and those that teach you painting techniques. It's good to know what style of painting interest you the most and read and study that art and the artist. My work can be checked out at hellosanantonio.com under artist name GUERRO1.Learning how to paint?
Classes are a great way to learn. About.com has a great deal of information on painting. An important tip that is not obvious is that one should dab the paint on with the brush rather than stroke it on. This goes for acrylic and oil paints. Hope that helps.
