Hi again! My new picture.  (Canvas, oil). 

The picture will be a large size 90/70. The picture is not ready yet.

Almost all great artists worked in oils. 

Their paintings and hundreds of years later look impressive. To achieve the same landscapes and oil painting, you need to know a lot of nuances of working with this material. This article will give only a glimpse of the technique of working with oil paints. A fundamental understanding and creation of your own style will intuitively develop as you write your masterpiece.

What are oil paints?

Before you start working with oil paints, it will not be inappropriate to find out that they are all a mixture of dry pigment and linseed oil, which dries and oxidizes in air. This oxidation causes the coloring agent to crystallize, therefore, after complete drying, the oil cannot be removed. The paints are packaged in metal tubes, of which they must be caught on the palette and mixed with the palette knife. Oil is a rather thick material. It is not easy for an unprepared person to cope with it for the first time.

At first it was like that. And then decided to make it lighter
