I believe that this is a popular way,
Seriously tho' folks, as Paddy says, it isn't an "academic" thing.
We mostly learn by watching and listening.
There are a thousand different styles, often defined by region, but most use well tried and tested chord progressions, not least the basic I,IV,V in a 12 bar format, with soloing based on major/minor pentatonic scales.
Maybe start by listening to Jimmy Reed and Lightning Hopkins for country blues, and Mississippi John Hurt for pretty basic fingerstyle.
However, it is not just a cliche to say that to play the blues convincingly, one needs to "feel" the genre.
