oil paint

Oil paint is a type of painting medium made from pigments mixed with a dense, slow-drying oil, typically linseed oil. This combination allows artists to create rich, vibrant colors with a smooth or textured finish. It dries gradually, enabling artists to blend and manipulate colors over time for detailed, layered effects. Oil paint has been valued for its durability, depth of color, and versatility, making it a popular choice for artists seeking expressive, lasting works. The slow drying process also allows for corrections and modifications, contributing to its enduring appeal in fine art.
