Oil painting is a traditional painting technique that has been loved by artists for generations. Characterized by its deep color, the changes in texture that occur when layers of paint are applied, and its unique depiction of light, oil painting is an art form with a long history that occupies an important place in museums and galleries around the world.
The greatest appeal of oil painting is its flexibility and expressiveness. Because the paint takes a long time to dry, artists have the time to adjust their work and add depth and shadow through layering. The nature of the paint also makes it easy to create rich colors, gloss, and subtle color gradations, resulting in a visually appealing finish.
This time, we will review the characteristics and definition of oil painting, and introduce some of the oil painting artists who are currently attracting attention!

・What is oil painting ?<br>As the name suggests, oil painting is an art form that uses oil paints. Pigments that do not dissolve in water or oil are dissolved in drying oil, which dries easily and hardens quickly, and the resulting paint is then applied to a canvas (linen cloth attached to a wooden frame).
Oil paintings are characterized by their wide range of expression, from realistic paintings with a photographic transparency to paintings that utilize the profound feeling created by layering paint. The vividness and depth of the colors allow the artist's sensibility to be reflected to a great extent, resulting in a wide variety of works. Another advantage of oil paintings is that they are highly durable, and even works hundreds of years old can be viewed in almost the same condition as when they were first made.
