Discover Oil Paintings
Oil paintings date back centuries to Indian and Chinese artists before the artwork of the Western world developed in this medium. Oil paints are rich, bright, and vibrant, and they're amenable to different painting techniques. Artists can daub, stroke, layer, dot, swath, or chisel oil paints on canvas, using either brushes or palette knives. They can also layer oils on top of successive dry or wet layers in different viscosities.
