Paint using poppy or linseed oil as a binder. Popular for its ease of manipulation and saturated color. One-Stroke Painting Popular decorative painting technique developed by Artist Donna Dewberry where double and multi-loading are used to achieve highlights, shadows and color changes in one stroke.
Paint consisting of pigments ground into oil, traditionally cold-pressed linseed oil. The resulting thick and buttery consistency is prized by many artists and provides unique characteristics in handling and techniques.Oil paints oxidize into a tough leathery film, and remain remarkably stable over time. However since oil paintings do begin as organic material, subject to decay, some precautions should be taken in caring for them. Read more about caring for oil paintings.
Powdered pigment mixed to a thick consistency with linseed, poppy or nut oil which remains wet for long periods and therefore encourages wet on wet techniques. Gradual oxidization of the linseed oil causes the paint to harden. Full cure can take many months. Introduced in the 15th Century, this slowly supplanted TEMPERA as the most popular painting technique.
The dominant medium of painting for several hundred years. It is versatile, can be made transparent or left opaque, easy to manipulate and the color does not change when drying.
traditionally the main binding agent for pigment in non glazed paintings was linseed or stand oil. When dry the colour is non-soluble and can be exposed to the atmosphere. Unfortunately the oil takes a long time to dry to full dryness and many modern artists prefer to use ACRYLIC paints which are soluble in water until dry which is only hours after application.
Paint made by using ground pigments combined with a binder such as linseed oil.
Paint made out of slow-drying oil, with added pigments to create colour. Oil paint needs much time to dry, which enables the artist to correct or change his work. Oil paint came to be used widely in the 17th century, when it replaced tempera. Linseed oil is commonly used as carrier, made from the seeds of flax.
A paint that contains drying oil, oil varnish or oil-modified resin as the film-forming ingredient. The term is commonly and incorrectly used to refer to any paint soluble by organic solvents.
Paint bound by poppy or linseed oil displaying an ease of manipulation and saturated colors. Drying time in a deterrent for most illustrators working within a publishing deadline.
A slow drying paint made b y mixing color pigments in an oil basee
Paint that is created by mixing oil with colored pigments that are ground into powder.
Paint made with pigments mixed with oil. Used by most artists since the Renaissance.
A definition by Winsor & Newton state: "Oils are one of the great classic media, and have dominated painting for five hundred years. They remain popular for many reasons: their great versatility, offering the possibility of transparency and opacity in the same painting; the lack of color change when the painting dries; and ease of manipulation."
slow drying paint made when pigments are mixed with an oil, linseed oil being the most traditional. The oil dries with a hard film and the brightness of the colours are protected.
Pigment plus linseed oil and driers
A medium with a long drying time in which the pigments are carried in an oil binder. Must be cleaned up with turpentine or mineral spirits.
Paints in which drying oils (such as linseed or walnut oil) have pigments ground into them. The flexibility, durability, and evolution of oil paint technique account for its immense popularity the world over among both artists and art consumers.
A slow drying opaque paint made of pigments mixed with oil. Opaque: Impenetrable by light so you are not able to see through it. (not transparent)
Paint made of a slowly drying oil with added colour pigments. The time required by oil paint to dry gives the artist the opportunity to correct or change his work. Oil paint came to be used widely in the 17th century, when it replaced tempera. Linseed oil, extracted from flax seed, is commonly used as carrier.
A paint made by grinding a coloring substance in oil.
Type of paint that uses either natural oil (such as linseed oil) or a synthetic oil (called alkyd) as the spreading and adhering vehicle. Alkyd paints are the most prevalent oil paint. Oil-based paint requires mineral spirits or turpentine to clean and thin.
Artists' colors made by dispersing pigments in linseed oil or another vegetable drying oil and having the consistency of a smooth paste.
Slow drying paint made of pigments mixed with an oil. Oil paints are usually opaque and traditionally used on canvas.
A powdered pigment which is held together with oil, usually linseed oil.
Refers to a paint medium and its associated techniques or any work so produced. Oil paint is made from ground pigments suspended in oil, usually linseed. The most flexible and luminous of all paint mediums. A paint which is a drying oil is the vehicle. Oil color is more easily mixed than acrylic color. A paint medium consisting of pigments suspended in drying oils, usually linseed. The oil keeps the paint fluid for a period of time and then acts as a drying and hardening agent. Oil paint is unsurpassed for textural variation, and for creating subtle effects with color. A paint in which natural oil - usually linseed - is the medium that binds the pigments.
Paint made using a drying oil as the binder that dries by oxidation. Often said to have been invented by the Van Eyck brothers in the 15th century, in reality much older. See the Oil Painting forum.
Oil-based paint that contains oil as the basic vehicle ingredient. Oil paint can be designed for interior or exterior use. It must be thinned and cleaned up with solvent. Pure oil-based paints have largely been replaced by alkyd paints.
Oil paint is a type of slow-drying paint consisting of small pigment particles suspended in a drying oil. Oil paints have been used in England as early as the 13th century for simple decoration,Charles Eastlake, Materials for a History of Oil Painting, Longman, Longman, Brown, Green, and Longman, 1847. but were not widely adopted for artistic purposes until the 15th century. The most common modern application of oil paint is domestic, where its hard-wearing properties and luminous colours make it desirable for both interior and exterior use.
