Oil painting is a traditional and versatile medium used by artists to create stunning works of art. It involves mixing pigments with a drying oil, such as linseed or walnut oil, to create a smooth, rich paint that can be applied to a variety of surfaces, such as canvas or wood. Acrylic paints are composed of pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion.
These paints have a slow drying time, which allows for blending and layering techniques, making them ideal for detailed and realistic paintings.
