The art of painting has touched many hearts and souls because of its real life or abstract interpretation of thought and emotion. It has long been loved by Kings, Queens down to present day politicians and lay people. From its long years of existence, many varieties have been developed. There are now a lot of kinds such as paint, charcoal and oil. Oil paintings are one of the favorites because of their dramatic and real life effect. Oil was first used by Indian and the Chinese in Buddhist paintings during the 5th and 9th centuries. However, it has not gained worldwide popularity until the Middle Ages when royalties and elite members of the society became attached with vanity. Paintings have grown to be signs of power and influence. In the West, the tradition broke free with the Early Netherland-ish paintings in Northern Europe. By the late 1800s, oil paint was made available in tubes which made this art easier to conduct outside the royal premises.
Oil paintings make use of the art of using pigments bound with a drying oil, usually linseed oil, poppy seed oil, safflower oil or walnut oil. The pigments are obtained from natural substances with color like cobalt for blue tint or sulfur with yellow shade. In every painting, various oils are used to create assorted effects because of differing drying points. The oils can also make the pigment lighter or darker in color. Extra gloss or sheen is also achieved by different oils especially when they are boiled with resin like a pine resin or frankincense.
Different techniques are employed by painters, but most usually begin with a sketch to outline the subject. Then, they will apply the pigment using a brush or the fingers. There are assorted kinds of brushes ranging from hog s bristles for a bolder stroke, the fitch hair and mongoose hair for fine and smooth lines and the kolinsky sable for more detailed strokes. The palette knife may also be used to both apply and remove paint when necessary. Sponges, cotton swabs and rags can be used.
There are different methods to arrive at specific effects. For well-dried oil paintings without cracking, the fat over lean is used. This includes oilier paint stroked over pigments with lesser oil content. With additional layers, the painting becomes more oleo saturated, thus, there is no peeling in the finished product. After drying, the glaze may be applied to seal the surface. Classical pieces may take two weeks to months for layering to be complete. For outdoor and more modern paintings, the wet to wet method is employed since there is no more time to wait for the drying of one layer to the next. Another variety is Indirect Painting which includes an initial layer of egg tempera or turpentine thinned paint. Most use an initial layer to sketch the subject. After the paint is dry, the artist paints a mosaic or color palettes from dark to light shades. This layer has to be dried first before the details are laid down.
