Oil painting

Oil painting is a rich and versatile medium known for its deep colors, smooth blending, and long drying time, allowing for detailed work and layering. Artists use techniques like glazing for luminous depth, impasto for thick, textured strokes, and wet-on-wet for seamless blending. The slow drying process enables modifications and refinements, making oil paint ideal for both realism and expressive styles. Proper surface preparation and varnishing help preserve the artwork’s longevity.
