Oil
Oil painting is an artistic technique using pigments mixed with oil to create rich and lasting colors. This type of paint is appreciated for its depth of color, its texture, and its ability to be worked in layers, allowing for effects of transparency, light, and fine details.
Here are its main characteristics:
• Long drying time: Unlike other types of paint such as acrylic, oil paint dries slowly, which allows the artist to work on details, make modifications, and achieve subtle blends.
• Varied textures: The paint can be applied in thick layers (impasto) or thin, offering a variety of textures and renderings.
• Shine and luminosity: Oil allows the pigments to remain bright and vibrant, offering an exceptional depth of color.
• Resistance: Once dry, oil paint is durable and resists time well, which explains its popularity for works that must last for centuries.
