Oil Painting
Oil painting is a traditional art technique that involves using pigments mixed with oil—typically linseed oil—as a binder. Known for its rich colour depth and versatility, oil paint allows artists to work in layers, build texture, and blend colours smoothly over time due to its slow drying process. This makes it ideal for creating detailed, realistic imagery or expressive, emotive works. Throughout history, masters like Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and da Vinci have used oil painting to create some of the world’s most iconic artworks. As a medium, it marks the culmination of a painting process that can be both meticulous and meditative, resulting in a finished piece that often carries permanence and depth.
