Oil Painting
Resilient Oil Painting Techniques
Oil paintings can be very hard-wearing, there are examples available of more than 500 years old oil paintings! But it's not the paint itself that's durable – it's the specific way you apply it. Tubes of oil paint are raw ingredients. If you layer them incorrectly your painting will crumble and fall apart within a few years after completion. There are three major rules that make a oil paintings last the ages:
- Paint fat over lean oil paint
- Paint thick over thin oil paint
- Always use fresh oil paint
Fat over Lean Oil Paintings
The rule "fat over lean" means that every following layer of oil paint has to be just a little bit fatter than the preceding one. In the first layer, you just paint with oil paints right out of the tube, and you make them thinner with turpentine. In the second layer, you add just a little bit of painting medium to the paint. In the third layer, you add a little bit more of medium to the paint etc. Oil painting medium can be prepared with stand oil and dammar varnish, mixed in equal amounts.
Thick Over Thin Oil Paintings
Thick layers of oil paint will take a longer time to dry than thin layers of oil paint. The drying process of oil paint doesn't end when the paint is dry to the touch. And every time you paint a layer over that, it will form a layer. Thick film dries more slowly than thin films of oil paint. Faster drying film layers shrink faster than slower drying film layers. So, a thin layer of film painted over a thicker one, will crack in time. In oil painting, it is better to first work with thinner washes, merely coloring the surface, and include texture later.
Fresh Paint
Oil paint forms a film when it dries. It dries in contact with oxygen. When the oil paint has already been exposed to air for more than a few hours (on your palette), you can still stir it and it may seem like you can still paint with it. But it the quality of film will decrease. When oil paint has partially dried, its ability to make one solid film is distorted, and it will peel off over time - long enough to fool you, but not long enough to satisfy the buyer of the painting. If you want to preserve leftovers of paint, carefully cover them with plastic foil and use them as soon as possible.
Oil Painting Durability
Durability depends a lot on the painting grounds you use. Canvas is supple, and dried gesso is much less flexible. There's no record of the way oil paint behaves after a hundred years on gesso, because gesso is an acrylic material! It has only been there for a few decades. But it is believed that in time, the oil and gesso will separate from each other. We all know that acrylic and oil paint are two very different materials and even only because of the stiffness, gessoed canvases tend to crack in time.
You can avoid this cracking by gessoing your own canvases and adding some caseine to the gesso (or adding a thin layer of gesso to a ready-primed canvas). Caseine makes the gesso more elastic, and it aids the oil paint sticking on to the gesso. This is also a good reason to add caseine to the gesso when you set up a painting board.
When you glue your canvases the old fashioned way with hide-glue, make sure to use very, very thin glue. A too thick hide-glue layer causes problems (circle-shaped cracks). The same goes for acrylic binder (not too thick under layers, only a thin sizing to impermeate the canvas)
Most 20 century art will be gone in 50 years, owing to bad painting techniques. It will only be obtainable as a digital reproduction... Such problems really are preventable.
Where to Find Quality Oil Paintings for Sale
There are many oil painters who sell oil paintings for affordable prices. Whether or not their oil paintings will be around in 50 years is another matter altogether. That is why it is important that you purchase oil paintings from qualified artists who use the best quality oil paints and oil painting techniques. This way you will be able to keep your oil paintings and pass them from generation to generation!
One site that we have found that has exceptional quality oil paintings that created by experienced artists who only paint with the highest quality oil paints and techniques is Exclusive Art Paintings. They may not have thousands of paintings to choose from, but what they showcase is of the highest quality as well as being affordable. Most of their images are affordable and sell for under a $1000. Some are obviously far more expensive.
About the Author
Buying oil paintings to improve your home has a number of advantages, which are described in detail here as well as what to look out for in an oil painting for sale.
What is the different between arcylic painting and oil painting?
I used to paint with oil. But never try with acrylic. I want to try acrylic painting. What is the different between both?
I know that oil painting is very smelly of oil and turpentine afterwards and really need very long time to dry it well. Acrylic?
Any useful advice for a beginner like me to do acyclic paintings?
Acrylic painting requires speed. It dries fast because it is water soluble. You use it like watercolor, as you dip the brush in water to clean out, then dip in new color to paint. It is cheaper than oils. I've used them because they are more affordable. You don't have to mess with all the trupentines and solvents because they are water based. Usually clean up is easy. The paints dry on the palette and i usually can just peel off the hardened paint, if thick enough to withstand the tug.I can also use soap and water to really clean the brushes. But immersion of brushes in water is necessary when painting. Acts very much like watercolor. Can mix colors on palette. On canvas, it dries quickly. I really prefer working with water color, although acrylics show some amazing effects.
Oils are obviously oil based. They can be toxic to brain and body if you're in a poorly circulated room. You need all the solvents, etc. It is messier and takes much longer to dry. It takes longer, period. You can achieve very blended looks with proper techniques, so I don't know why anyone would use oil, except it holds slightly more prestige due to the cost factor probably.
