In some cases, I complete an oil painting on location in all sessions. Other paintings, based on this direct observation and experience with the landscape. About Painting:
Painting as a medium has survived for thousands of years and is, along with drawing and sculpture, one of the oldest creative media. It’s used in some form by cultures around the world. There are six major painting media, each
with a specific individual characteristics:
Encaustic
Tempera
Fresco
Oil
Acrylic
Watercolor
All of them use the following three basic ingredients:
Pigment
Binder
Solvent (also called the “vehicle”)
Oil painting:
Oil paint is the most versatile of all painting media. It uses pigment mixed with a binder of linseed oil. Linseed oil can also be used as a vehicle, along with mineral spirits or turpentine. Oil painting was thought to have developed in Europe during the fifteenth century, but recent research on murals found in Afghanistan caves show oil-based paints were used there as early as the seventh century. I like to use several different oils in the same painting depending on specific pigments and effects desired. I will draw attention, please make an OIL Paint of your dear one, your family members which will be help you to keep you smiley round the year with their sweet memories and event. Thank You
Oil painting artist Gopal
