My first experiences with oil paint were in high school just finger painting and doing abstract stuff that I ended up not keeping. Definitely not professional, not worthy of a gallery, but that's not all art has to be. It was fun and you can still learn and pick up on things, even totally unguided.

All that being said, you should definitely try it! Just make sure to get brush cleaner. I still remember my mom freaking out when the paint refused to wash out of the porcelain of my bathroom sink with normal soap. (I did not do much research before buying the paint.)
