Dear readers,
If you want to transfer your idea, your theme, onto canvas using oil paints, it is a good idea to read a little about oil painting. So go ahead.
Before starting oil painting, it is important to prepare the canvas and materials. The substrate you will paint on can vary from canvas to wood, hardboard, cardboard, paper and other surfaces. Choosing good quality oil paints in a variety of shades is also important. Oil paints are made by mixing pigments with oil, which was first done in the 19th century. Turpentine can be used to thin oil paints, which also helps when washing brushes and cleaning the palette. By choosing the right materials and colours, you can ensure that your painting turns out as you want it to.
Once the materials are ready, it's time to sketch the subject and apply the base coats. This will provide a foundation for the painting and help create the composition. Oil paints have a thick, creamy consistency that can be controlled with different mediums such as linseed oil or turpentine. It is important to let the base coats dry completely before moving on to the next step. Creating a painting with layers and texture is a key part of oil painting. Multi-layer painting is a more challenging technique, but also more precise. Basic rules include not painting on a layer that has not yet dried and using different brushes and spatulas to create different marks on the canvas. By painting in layers, you can create depth and texture that will make your artwork stand out.
Finally, it is important to know how to handle oil paints to achieve the desired result. There are several manufacturers of oil paints, each with their own types and levels of purity and pigment content. You can mix the shades in advance or mix the colors directly on the canvas. Brushes and spatulas are essential tools for applying paint in thick layers and creating different textures on canvas. It is also important to choose the appropriate type of oil for your painting, such as poppy seed oil for underpainting and walnut oil for a full and silky texture. Use oil paints to create fine or coarse textures and hide brush marks to create a smooth surface. With practice and patience, anyone can learn to paint with oil paints and create beautiful works of art to display in, for example, ORIGINAL GALLERY.
I have now laid the foundations for you and now it is up to you how you approach the canvas, grasp your motif and realize your art.
Finally? Don't forget that the task of art is the transformation of feelings into reality, the materialization of ideas through colours and tools on the canvas.
Thank you for your attention and look forward to the next time.
