The Basic Of Oil Painting Overview

  
All paint is a mixture of a dry pigment and solid of a liquid. The oil paint the dry pigment is mixed with linseed oil. Linseed oil is a drying oil that dries by chemical oxidation. That is, it takes oxygen from the air and creates a crystalline solid that encases the pigment in a permanent form reaction . When it's dry it 's never possible to removed.

 Oil paint is so much thick. It comes in tubes of color. The paints are squeezed out onto a palette where they are mixed together with a palette knife to make the various new colors. It's then applied to a vertical canvas with stiff painting brushes.

 Oil paints are slow drying part. Usually taking 3 days before you can put on another coat. The drying time is may be an advantage and disadvantage also. The great advantage is that you have time to refine and adjust what you painting before it dries. This is particularly useful when making gradual transitions from one color to another color. Also if you painting something you don't like, it can be removed while wet using a rag, palette knife or rubber squeegee and replace it.

 The disadvantages are that when putting two wet colors next to each other they can cross-contaminate if not applied accurately. The palette, the stiff  brushes and the wet painting must be handled carefully to keep wet paint off, fingers, food, fabric and furniture etc.,The paint may be manipulated for up to 12 hours after which you must wait three days for it to dry before going back to make any changes. When oil paint is dry, new colors can be applied over old color. Many layers of paint may be applied at any time.

The Art Of Oil Painting Glazing Media

 

The arts of oil paintings are the most respected and highly valued of all the wet painting media and with very good meaningful reasons. Oils can be controlled better than anything else in our life.

Oil paintings are also the most expensive painting media and can be the most toxic as well. This set of tube colors, nice brushes, and various mediums cost six hundred dollars. The good messages is the paints are not the problem but the cleaning and glazing media.

 

The old experiences masters mostly used refined linseed oil painting and turpentine and these have been replaced with much better substitutes in the 21st century generation that do not contain lead.Sadly, there is no much entirely non-toxic oil painting experience. 24 hour hour drying time rather than weeks releases fumes for a short time period and less toxicity is better than extremely intense toxicity. 

 

Odorless mineral spirits like Gamsol by Gamblin are expensive but get rid of the very strong smell almost altogether. They dilute the arts of paint just as well nice and make clean up a breeze. When oil painting on an upright canvas on an easel, or over any wet colorful painting a ball-stick is a must to keep a steady hand and protect sticky or nice wet areas from getting ruined.
