#linseed and paint thinners and the oils used IN the paint

Art magic and tools

A follow-up to my previous post on art magic with some more ideas surrounding what tools you use rather than specific art mediums.

Palettes

There are a couple of ways to make palettes magical. Of course you can bless a plain palette, wash it with blessed water or draw a sigil on the bottom. But there is also the symbolism of the objects you use for a palette. For an example, a large sea shell can make an excellent palette:

Here I was using gouache and the seashell as a base really helped connect me to the energies of the sea for this landscape painting.

In addition, you can use China plates (from the thrift store in my case) as paint palettes, and depending on the colour and decoration they can be used for a whole manner of purposes.

Brushes

Softer brushes, whether synthetic or genuine animal hair, can be a great way to blend and add softness to your work. By contrast, thick, coarse brushes can act as a rougher edge: more powerful in some cases, less subtle.

If you're using genuine animal hair, get to know what animal the hair came from to understand the energy of that brush. And make sure to thank the animal's spirit, if you do such things.

If you're particularly crafty, you can even make your own brushes using human hair. I've always wanted to learn to do that.

Pencils

In the past I have painted sigils onto my art pencils for use in my practice, relating to creativity and inspiration. But the type of pencil you use also has an effect.

A harder pencil, like a HB, will have a different effect to a softer 2B or 4B for example. Your pencil sharpener can also help you to embue energy into your tool: Think about your intentions as you sharpen.

Pastels

Oil pastels have a certain nostalgic feel for me, like I'm using crayons for grownups. You can carve into the base of the pastel a small symbol, or use colours based on association. You can also wrap the pastel in paper with any number of things on it, from a petition to a poem.

Mediums

Whether it's refined linseed oil for oil paints or water for watercolour or acrylics, your paint mediums can be used to bless your art work. Paint a sigil on the jar that holds the medium, or if its suitable you can bless the medium itself. For watercolour and such, you can use sacred water such as moon water. Or add a drop of essential oils into the mix (if it won't react with your paint) with intention.

Sketchbooks / Canvases

As for the paper itself, it can help to make sure you know the differences between different papers you're working with. Cold-pressed watercolour paper will have a different feel and texture to hot-pressed. Oil paper tends to be more coarse, sketchbook paper thinner ect. I mostly use mixed media paper and watercolour paper for my art.

If you have a hardback sketchbook, decorate the front with symbolic art work or sigils. I painted water lilies on the front of my sketchbook, to symbolise beauty, calmness and growth.

For a canvas, sanding down that fresh canvas can be a way to embue your intention into your piece. You can also add a sigil or rune before you start sanding. Using a canvas wedge to tighten your piece at the end or beginning can help lock in that intention.

WAIT BUILDING ON ARTIST!READER, you should know turpentine (paint thinner, medium, accelerates oils’ notoriously long drying times) is INCREDIBLY pungent even for regular people - I had to paint in an open air stairwell in high school because my art teacher had such a sensitivity that smelling it for too long would make her feel faint and possibly pass out - Could Matt handle it? Yeah cuz he’s a slut for pain, but I like thinking of the possible shenanigans.

Maybe reader straight up doesn’t use turpentine because of that, and sometimes Matt touches the painting and it’s like “well shit that wasn’t completely dry” (which happens even if you use turpentine LMAO rip) and they both have a little laugh as reader helps clean it off.

Maybe reader does use turpentine but doesnt paint at his place just to be considerate, and Matt can never quite decide which evil to choose: breathing in the turpentine constantly, or mouth breathing and tasting it later. And though he’s told them they don’t HAVE to paint away from him for his sake, he can’t help but smile when he can smell faint traces of turpentine under their soap, which tells him that they tried to wash thoroughly before before seeing him, because even if he can deal with it, it’s a sweet gesture.

Maybe reader experiments with acrylics - faster drying and less notoriously pungent? And grumbles about how different they are to work with in comparison to oil. “It dries TOO fast, Matt! I slap it down and I swear it dries up faster than my pussy whenever I have to hear people talk about Picasso!” (Yeah, I’m projecting bwehehe Picasso is somehow not given enough credit by the wider population but also his shittiness as a human being is overlooked). And when Matt tells them that they don’t have to change their preferred medium for the sake of him, they refuse because it’s now a point of PRIDE. He can hear how they grimace when they realise one of their paintbrushes has been ruined from the paint and it’s just. Kind of funny-

Matt ALSO finding it funny when they miss the specks of paint in hard to find areas like near the elbow or neck, and them trying to scrub it out of clothes (“how did it get there!! What the fuck!!”) before a date.

If we branch out a little, I’ve seen combinations of 3D/2D in galleries like Ohata Shintaro? Plus there’s stuff such as sculpture painting, but I don’t know as much about that. And if we veer into SUPER self indulgent territory, I’m a 2D game artist, and I would absolutely simp so hard for Matt that I clean up my rusty 3D skills and do something in there for his benefit and try to get that shit 3D printed, damn the complications that I know are many. Watch me go “NO DONT COME IN YET!! WEAR A MASK” because there’s micro plastics in the air as I desperately sand down the piece I printed 😭

But also like. Imagine artist reader describing things with their artist knowledge, trying to paint Matt a little picture that isn’t just world on fire - using moods and textures to even describe colour sometimes, like Vanessa did at the art gallery. Or even describe how people look. EEK

NONNI— I. FUCKIN. LOVE YOU. I SEE YOU'RE INTO THIS AU AS DEEP AS I AM

so full disclosure, i am an artist, i’ve had a similar experience with oil paints and turpentine at art school and had to wear a face mask because that shit is toxic AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW BADLY IT'D IRRITATE MATT'S NOSE TOO. imagine him coming home from his dd duties and promptly fainting in the kitchen from the fumes. new daredevil villain unlocked: it's you

(fun fact: turpenoid is a wonderful substitute, it’s odorless! or linseed oil, but that has a smell. both are more bearable than turpentine!)

but either way—you're 100% right—oil paints take forever to dry, and matt being the handsy impatient person he is, he'd prob end up being your accidental co-artist........ but wait that would actually be so cute???? an accidental lil fingerprint here, a swipe there, maybe you find a strand of his hair on the paint one day and it makes you smile because you know he's been poking around your workspace while you weren't around, probably curious as to what you were painting this time. you keep every mark he makes, you never cover them up, or you find a way to incorporate them into the painting because you cherish everything matt gives you and there are no such thing as mistakes in art, only happy accidents ;) and that's something both foreign and reassuring to matt, who we all know is so hard on himself and struggles not to see in black and white sometimes.

yes exactly 🥺 for the parts that matt can’t make out—the colors, moods, the gestalt or the meaning of the piece, you describe it to him in detail so he can see through your eyes. and when foggy or karen come over he can hear it from their perspective. maybe it’s what he comes to love about art despite not being able to see it: that it’s a personal experience for each person and the meaning changes with the interpreter.

re: the picasso comment, hold on i’m screaming

re: you being a 2d game artist, wow i WORSHIP you, that is such a cool profession! i can empathize with the difficulties of 3d programs/printing, but you bet i'd be learning maya or blender for matt murdock. RIP.

anyways this is kinda what i was imagining originally with textured paintings! but there are so many artistic mediums and installation types that matt could engage with. i just want him to be happy and cared for and his disability respected so bad 😔

OOP i really got carried away with this ask! thank you for this message—you brought the BIGGEST smile to my face. i'm super passionate about art and matt murdock, and this ask was chefs kiss. ily nonni, and if you ever feel inclined, i’d love to see your work! 💕

tagging @saintmurd0ck since i know she might b working on something hehe

Yoo your oil paintings look lovely!! 🥺 I've been wanting to start using oils myself but I haven't figured out where to start :,) There's just so many things to consider and get. Could you give me some advice, if it's not too much trouble?

Hi!! Thank you sm! I went to bed and suddenly the paining has OVER 700 NOTES. OH MY GOD. Thank you to any and everyone who has even THOUGHT about the painting in a positive light, I love you forever!!

Anyways, disclaimer bc I’m not formally trained in oils nor am I an art student. this is a hobby for me. I’ve taken a class or two but I’m using YouTube and willpower here.

I think to start, the most basic supplies list could probably be found on YT but I will say one thing; a lot of the videos I found said to get a much bigger range of colors than I think I need when I was starting out. I recommend going for a smaller color range and just focusing on using color theory from there on out to learn how to mix colors. However a supplies list is better to google imo! One thing I will say is that you might want to buy a bigger tube of white bc you go through that quickly. Also, keep in mind that the specific color and paint grade can affect how it works. For the most part it doesn’t matter but for techniques like “glazing” (AKA you create an underpainting and then use thin paint over it like a glaze) the kind of paint you get is important. Also, if you’re going to skimp monetarily on anything, don’t skimp on paint! Save money on brushes or other supplies bc oil painting is an expensive hobby (PSA CLEAN YOUR BRUSHES). All supplies I’ve bought have been from a basic Blick Art’s store.

Secondly, once you’ve got supplies and some practice canvas (I recommend some small sizes like iPad sized ones, and then once you’re more confident working big try something like 11x14. Atm don’t worry about the kind of canvas you get, a cheap cotton canvas is best for beginners). As for paint thinner, try to go for the eco friendly kind that’s made from natural stuff. It will still smell and release fumes but it’s not as toxic and it can usually be disposed of easier. Regular paint thinner like turpentine and mineral spirits CANNOT BE POURED DOWN THE DRAIN! Keep it in a tightly sealed glass jar, google disposal procedures and paint in a well ventilated area or outside to avoid fumes. Always stop painting if you get a headache!). There’s also other fancy supplies like quick glaze (brown goo added to make the paint dry quicker and apply smoother) or stand oil (kind of like roasted linseed oil that’s used to make paint dry slower and increase transparency) but I think you learn to use those later.

Also, for the actual painting part; most of the things I’ve painted have been through sheer willpower and a god awful amount of color theory. I used my basis in drawing for getting proportions right and such, but most of oil paint is color theory. Once again a YouTube vid may be more helpful here than me, but quick tips:

-study the color wheel, it’s important! Keep on one hand when painting.

-adding pure white or black to a paint color can dull it down. A lot of what looks like “black” in a painting is usually just opposing colors mixed to create a very dark color, ex) red and green mixed to create a deep brown.

-certain paints behave differently. Some are more liquidy, some are more potent, and some behave in ways that tbh you just gotta see for yourself. For ex: lots of earth tone colors like some yellows seem drier out of the tube. When mixing colors, sometimes red paint will more quickly overpower your yellow paints, so use less of that red instead! And some paints just behave weirdly, like cadmium red and most yellow paints in my experience. Cadmium red light looks like bright orange, not really red. Yet, when mixing colors and you think adding red will make a color warmer, it offend turns the color a little pink/has slight cool tones. However if you add cadmium red light instead, it tends to get warmer without leaving behind weird pinkish cool tones. This is semantics and will make more sense if you actually just paint but yk. Also, when mixing with yellow paint be aware that it changes colors in weird ways and if any yellow is anywhere on your brush or Pallette, it’s getting like. Everywhere. Fun Fact (in my experience)

-mix your colors with a palette knife if possible.

-Paint with bigger brushes first and paint areas with the biggest brush you can whenever possible. It help reduce streakiness and improve blending.

-sometimes you need to think out your paint with paint thinner but be aware that it will lift whatever paint you have on the bottom if you work it in too much.

-learn different painting techniques like Alla Prima to paint with confidence and to learn to loosen your hand. Lots of oil paintings looks so tight and detailed and nothing looks out of place, but the truth is that perfect blending is often achieved with roughy strokes of color first to establish shadows and highlights first. It’s scary and often seemingly impossible, but try to learn to pick out colors from photos/life and try to paint more loosely. Place the colors where you see them and blend a little later often works best.

-get an apron. It’s messy. Also, while you’re buying supplies get some oil paint cleaning soap (also the eco friendly kind!) and use that on yourself and your brushes to clean up. Oil paint is literally straight pigment and oil so it stains horribly, work accordingly.

-when you mix paint you have to “pull” the colors to be cooler, warmer, darker, or lighter. You usually don’t use out-of-the-tube colors and you have to change them a little. Most of the colors you use in the painting are going to be silently tweaked. This is just something you have to get used to because it’s hard to just tell your brain to see colors as anything but “light brown” instead of “burnt sienna mixed with white, a tinge of purple and some burnt umber”. And trust me, after my first oil painting class I was starting to see colors on the walls and thinking about what paint combos you had to use, it’s freaky

-as always, just try it! All knowledge is relative and in art especially there are a lot of interconnected things. Just try painting for the first time and experiment! My first oil painting was not perfect nor did I like it at first. It was really just a way for me to get used to how the paint worked. Give yourself some time to just learn how the medium behaves

-and if possible, take a class somewhere! Lots of art schools have them although they tend to be painting intensives. I took one as a summer class and although it was a crazy intense experience (and $$$) it was probably the best thing I ever did for myself as a painter. Disclaimer, it was at a well known art school so that def changed the quality, intensity and cost of the experience from most art classes. But still, classes anywhere can help you learn good technique and most of all raw experience. Also, I learned how to grind out paintings like no tomorrow, even if I was painting six or more hours a day. Worth it, but absolutely not necessary. Also, YouTube classes can be just as if not more beneficial sometimes!

I think that oil painting is a super great medium that presents infinite possibilities, despite being finicky and costly. I really love it and I don’t have formal training but I wanted to try it and here we are! I say just go for it if you have the means and the willpower. Also please try to google things and consult more academic resources bc my word isn’t gospel, especially in regards to safety hazards. Still, have fun with it + I’m sure more advice will pop into my head later so I’ll add to the post. For now, try it and have fun :)

[rosi-babi]

i’m finally getting around to watching how to oil paint videos. (literally just started doing it with no research at all) and i’m surprised by how much i figured out on my own/could transfer skills over from other mediums. i am definitely learning some stuff tho. like using paint thinner to literally thin the paint (obvious to some but not to me). i tried it last night and it definitely helped with adding lighter colors on top of my underpainting. i have water mixable oils so i was using water or linseed oil before but my gamsol mineral spirits works so much better. i still like using linseed oil to thin the paint but the mineral spirits works better for washes and underpainting. more like water in acrylic. linseed oil works more like slow drying agent.

also finally watching videos on color theory and i understand it more than i thought. the vocabulary is hard for me but when i translate it in my head to concepts that make sense to me i can actually use it! it helped to see someone use color theory to mix a gradient to do a flesh sphere (iykyk). i used red, yellow, blue, black and white like they did in the video to change intensity, saturation, lightness/darkness, how brown/gray it is. i was going for a range of purpley grays for stone columns. i used purple from the tube as a short cut but using yellow, red and blue to play with tone and white and black to play with shade was so fun. hard and took a lot of time but fun. i tend to use not enough to paint total and over correcting. i want to start mixing with a pallet knife but the pallet i’m using is not right for it so i will do that in the future. also i learned that an off white is better for mixing irl colors than titanium white which kind of sucks bcuz i bought big tubes of white acrylic and oil bcuz i keep running out. i’ll use it up eventually tho.

WIP

   I managed two short painting sessions over the long weekend, and made good progress on this small (8 inch, 20 cm) square canvas.

   Since it is to be a gift for the owner of the truck, I was using a mix of photos from his social media posts and a beautiful landscape originally posted on Tumblr by @kochlandhomestead​   (with permission)

   My work room smells of linseed oil, which delights me. (Linseed is the oil in my oil paints. My thinner is an odorless variety made by Crown, and it lives up to it’s ‘odorless’ claim very well.)

[ID: Two process photos of a small landscape painting with a Dodge Ram pickup truck in it. It has a sunset and late summer foliage.]

Writing Snippets--10/24/2022

Still going on that time-travelling Obake AU--like I said I’ll go until the juice is gone.

Anywho, “Rivalry Weak” stuff:

“So you and I are apparently the only ones still working on the kaiju,” Obake said to Hiro.

“Yeah, apparently,” Hiro said, looking baffled.  “What’s turpentine doing at SFAI anyway?”

“Turpentine is a paint thinner—it stands to reason it’s used for painting.”

“Hmm.  Honey Lemon—how does turpentine relate to art anyway?”

“It’s a paint thinner used with oil painting,” Honey Lemon said.

“So…your firebomb was made from oil paints?”

“Oil paints are made from linseed oil, Hiro.  I mean yes you have to be careful when disposing of old paint rags but, um….”

“Both: turpentine, and oil paints, are made from: plant-based products,” Baymax offered, pulling up schematics.  “There are no fossil fuels used in the making of: oil paints.”

“So how does she make a firebomb out of that?” Hiro asked Obake.

“Turpentine fumes are highly flammable,” Obake said.  “And as I understand it most old oil paints were mixed with toxic ingredients—hence why most artists died young and insane.”

“Boy I hope that doesn’t happen to Honey Lemon,” Hiro said—suddenly panicked.  “Y-you know, from messing with that stuff—”

Ah.  “So you do know about her extracurricular activities.”

“Yeah but don’t tell her,” Hiro hissed.  “Tadashi told me to leave it until she felt like sharing.”

Now let me tell you about this because it is very important, I did NOT suffer through having to use oil paints in college to have some nudniks not know this, so here we go:

Yes, you have to use turpentine to thin/clean oil paints, oil paints laugh at water and any other attempts to clean them

Yes, both turpentine and oil paints are highly flammable and oil paint rags, when dry, are combustible

Yes, you so very much need good ventilation while working with this stuff

Yes, you need to dispose of turpentine carefully you can’t just pour it down the drain because you’re not supposed to pour ANY oil or grease down the drain

Yes, oil paints back in the day had ingredients that were toxic af--matter of fact they still do, cinnabar and mercury are in some modern oil paints

NO, these are NOT made from fossil fuels

Turpentine is made from pine sap

Oil paints are made from linseed oil

They are plant-based

So yes, those idiots throwing tomato soup at priceless paintings are as brainless as you think they are.

"Y'know, for 16.99$. This linseed oil better do more than just thin paints. Maybe I can fry a nice dinner with it!"

"If it's being sold as paint thinner, I really wouldn't use it for cooking," Alice warns. "Who knows what else they might have thrown in it to aid in the thinning process. I mean, it might still be edible, but -- I'm not sure I'd want to take the risk."

WaterColor Paint: How to make your cheap/chalky paint better

2023-09-05/1445-02-20

I bought some new WC paint, and was going to toss the tacky stuff I had left over from donations/hand outs. I decided to experiment, flick thru. vids/web pages, work with what I had; I used alcohol sanitizer, vinegar, drops of mint & linseed oil (but really any oil should do) & honey/Elmers Clear glue. I believe Elmers rehydrates, which should do the trick, but just in case, keep a lid on it. But you all probably worked it out. The vinegar should break down the powdery chunks of the pigment. Mileage may vary.

***

I tested it out. It’s heavier, but it’s mixed. A paint thinner should do the trick. Tore up the paper… I guess It’s more oil paint than WC? …Upcycling!

Artists have been painting with oil painting for hundreds of times, there's a certain old academy standing for oil painting oils, presumably because it was the art of numerous European masters. The notorious Mona Lisa was also oil painting painted. moment, oil painting art is still known for the lustrous and rich finish it provides, the art is rather bogarting for some to elect as their kidney but it can turn out so beautifully. Abstract Art, Art Décor, Home Décor, Hotel Décor, Office Décor, Restaurant Décor, Wall Décor, Unique Art, Unique Art Décor, Framed Art, Abstract Painting, Modern Art, Contemporary Art, Online Gallery, Buy Art, Art for Sale, Art Collection, New Art, One of kind art, Art Prints, Art Prints for Sale, Original Art, Original Art Work, Modern Décor, Contemporary Designs, Art Designs, Living Room Designs, Kitchen Décor, Gifts Ideas

Abstract art is a beautifully executed fashion that any artist should try at least formerly, the depth painted by the painter depends on the bystander's first commerce with the oil. Due to their quality and thickness, they take longer to dry than paintings, and can prove delicate to be handled. You just need to flash back to take one stroke at a time, sluggishly rather than presto.

Are you overwhelmed to paint using oil painting maquillages? Below are some guidelines that can help give your oil the depth and understanding of the world of oil painting art. The first step is to choose the right inventories for your abstract oil Gather paintbrushes with synthetic filaments. A oil, it can be a wood plank or indeed a paper. Water doesn't dissolve with canvases so you would need some other detergent to use with your oil painting maquillages, like linseed oil painting.

A palette or a plate to mix your colors on, also arrange for a palette cutter to mix the colors with.

Apkins or an old rag.

An easel, if you need it.

For the alternate step, prepare the base of your art piece

Before you claw right into painting an abstract it's first essential to flash back canvases are thick and it'll transude into your oil if you do not apply a manual called gesso to the face before. It enables the face to be fluently painted on, it also repels any acids from the maquillages. Gesso gives you a important smoother face to work on. Abstract Art, Art Décor, Home Décor, Hotel Décor, Office Décor, Restaurant Décor, Wall Décor, Unique Art, Unique Art Décor, Framed Art, Abstract Painting, Modern Art, Contemporary Art, Online Gallery, Buy Art, Art for Sale, Art Collection, New Art, One of kind art, Art Prints, Art Prints for Sale, Original Art, Original Art Work, Modern Décor, Contemporary Designs, Art Designs, Living Room Designs, Kitchen Décor, Gifts Ideas

Sketching your abstract idea on step four

It's wiser to first sketch the idea you have of your abstract art on the face before painting over it, you do not have to draw the whole art just give yourself an idea beforehand so your strokes do not derange with the idea you're going for. After this you can start painting.

Understand the layering order for your oil painting abstract art

Another thing to flash back before you start the main oil is to apply a thick covering or subcaste over the thin and to decelerate dry over fast drying. Which in simple words means to use thinner makeup and lower oil painting for the first subcaste and also a thicker makeup with a advanced oil painting rate with for the coming layers. This will dry the earlier layers much briskly than the after layering and will make sure no cracks appear moreover. Keep the linseed oil painting rate to 21 because it tends to unheroic with age but dries important quicker than the other canvases .

Step- by- step tutorial to making an abstract oil painting oil

After you have primed and sketched on the face of your oil, it's now time to apply different tinges of colors on the oil directly or it's recommended to use a palette so you can more control over the shading and angles.Start to paint with just a many colors first, use one color at a time, and start putting tones on the different areas and in different shapes. Align them with your idea of an abstract.

After the tones are where you want them, now use a encounter or palette cutter for the coming step. Flatten the makeup globs with a palette cutter and also blend them with a encounter for a smoother look. You can also dab in lighter or darker makeup for lower details.

After the first original subcaste let it hot dry, subsequently move to darker tones and highlight lines and angles where you want them with thicker makeup. You can use the encounter to produce edges or bristles on the face to produce a texture. Move the encounter in the direction of how you want the texture to be shaped.

Let the makeup laggardly dry and store the wet artwork nearly dark and cool with no dust. The maquillages can dry inversely, some matte and some may shine with a lustrous face, but do not worry as you'll be applying the final fleece of shield in a month to give it a lustrous face also after another eleven months apply any removable protector shield to make it

dog painting on Canvas: How It Works

A very admired artistic media are dog paintings. Paintings in oil have been produced by skilled artists over the centuries and are still appreciated all over the world because of their unique style. What exactly is oil painting and how does it get done?

What Is dog Painting, And How Is It Done?

This post will focus on dog paintings. We’ll take you through their history and what makes them unique as well as how we create exquisite oil paintings inspired by your most loved images. If you’re seeking answers to your questions about art and the media that skilled artists work with You’re in the right spot. Continue reading to dive deep into the magic of the dog Painting on canvas experience!

A Short History Of oil dog Painting

Paint made of oil has been utilized by artists for long periods of time. The medium gained popularity for painters around the early 14th century. While the mix which makes up the oil paint was refined through the years, the process has remained the same from the beginning.

Oil paint is made up of three essential elements. The pigment makes oil paint hue. The component that makes oil paint so popular is called binder. Binders are an oil-based substance that acts as a container for the pigment. It is the pigment that makes up oil paint is typically ground, which means it requires liquids to be applied by an artist using brushes. The third major component of oil paint is referred to as a thinner. The thinner helps to distribute the mixture of the binder made from oil and the pigmentation using the help of a brush.

The most commonly used oil used in the production of oil paint is Linseed oil. In contrast to different vegetable oils oil is able to dry in the air, which makes it the ideal liquid paint base. If oil paint was produced using oil that didn’t dry after exposure to the air, it may be spreadable, but it would remain wet, even after hours of sitting. The mix of the ingredients used to create the finest oil paints has been selected to be as simple to use as it is for artists painting using brushes.

What Makes Oil dog Painting Unique?

Oil paint is a wildly popular medium , and is utilized by artists all over all over the globe. One reason that many artists prefer using oil paint in their art is due to the fact that it takes longer to dry than other kinds of paint. Paint that is drying slower gives the artist a greater opportunity to adjust their work even when the paint remains wet.

The quick drying paint may seem like a simple, less complicated and more useful medium to work with. But for artists the patience and accuracy are vital. When working with oil paint, it gives artists the chance to work at a slow pace and with precision as well as taking breaks when required. When working on a large artwork, the ability to take a step back and review the work to determine the extent to which any changes have to be made is extremely useful.

Another feature to oil dog paint which sets it apart from other art media is its ability to maintain the colors’ hues even after the paint is dry. Other types of paint can change color when they dry. Paint that is able to keep colors and conserve them when it is dry can be a very useful tool for artists. It can be a bit depressing for the artist working on a painting , who is watching it dry only to discover that the colors aren’t the way he or she imagined they were going to be.

The medium of oil provides artists with the chance to mix colors and create striking blends of color. Since the hues remain exactly the same after the painting is dry the artist can continue to mix colors without worrying about the appearance of their work after the finished product is finished.

How Do You Paint Over Oil-Based Paint?

Oil-based paints once used to be the go-to for high-impact areas and interior painting, especially for cabinets, trim work, doors and more. Oil-based paint is durable and self-levels as it dries and creates a perfect, flat surface.

Unfortunately, when it dries, it emits several volatile organic compounds that are harmful to the environment. The paint is often smelly and messy since mineral spirits or paints thinner must be used to clean up any droplets or spills. The more important issue with oil-based paint is that it’s becoming harder to find.

If you have a surface that was previously painted with oil-based paint, then it may be more than just a case of wanting to paint over it on top, as you may have few other options unless you want to use harsh chemicals to get rid of it. Thankfully, with the proper preparations, you can paint over oil-based paint with water-based acrylic-latex paint or even other oil-based paints.

Painting Over Oil-Based Paint

Oil-based paint is still available, so if you’re wondering whether you can paint over oil-based paints with latex or other oil-based paints. If a house is old, it likely has oil-based paint on some surfaces since water-based acrylic paint wasn’t around until the 1940s. With newer homes, you may have some areas of oil-based paint since that’s not entirely banned in most places.

Using Latex Paint Over Oil-Based Paint

Latex paint can be successfully painted right over fully-cured, oil-based paint. The good thing about latex paint is that it cures from the outside, developing outer skin and eventually hardening inside after evaporation. Oil-based paint has no water, so it hardens chemically. The chemical reactions transform the paint into a hard shell. Once it’s hard and cured, oil-based paint has no oil that would typically repel more layers of paint.

Using Another Oil-Based Paint Over Oil-Based Paint

Many professional painters prefer oil-based paint over latex for a smoother, harder finish with no marks, bubbles or gaps. Oil-based paints can be applied over other oil-based paints as long as they’re fully cured and nothing on the surface prevents another layer of paint from being added. You can find that on door casings, mouldings, trims, cabinets and shelving. 

You can find two types of oil-based paints: natural oil-based paint and alkyd paint. Alkyd paints are made with synthetic resin binders, while natural oil ones are older products using linseed. This linseed oil paint was used in older homes since it doesn’t trap any moisture, which usually ruins wood. Linseed paint is still used today, especially metal, as it inhibits rust and lasts longer than alkyd paints. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to work if you’re trying to use it to paint over another oil painting. If you’re painting over older linseed oil with new latex or oil, it may be too slick, even if you prime the surface. There are newer types of hybrid enamel paints that combine oil and latex, and they’re also useful for painting over oil-based paint. 

Preparation

Regardless of whether or not you’re painting over oil-based paints with latex or another oil-based paint, you should always prepare, making sure you avoid the possibility of paint cracking or peeling. You can’t simply paint over oil-based paint since the glossier surfaces will need a second layer of paint, but also cleaning and priming, so keep that in mind going forward.

What are the commonly used color mixing media

Grease is a medium for oil paints and is also used in Tampera emulsions and glazing materials. According to the drying method, oils used for toning media are divided into two categories: one is volatile oil, such as turpentine, lavender oil, refined gasoline, etc. The second is dry oil, such as poppy oil, linseed oil, walnut oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil and so on. The role of the toning media prepared by different oils is not the same. To master the techniques of oil painting, it is necessary to understand how to use the toning media. At present, the commonly used mixing agent and diluent are mainly the following:

(1) turpentine

Turpentine is a volatile, colorless and transparent liquid extracted by distillation of pine resin, also known as resin turpentine. In painting can be used as pigment and toner diluent, can also be used as a resin solvent. Good turpentine evaporates quickly and leaves no residue. Domestic painters use more medical turpentine, available in pharmacies. It is the best thinner for drafting and applying large color blocks.

Unrelated to resinous turpentine, Venetian turpentine is a very dense amber liquid that, when added to paints and toning oils, produces a firm, jewel-like conjunctiva. So it is often used as a glazing medium.

(2) Linseed oil

Linseed oil, also known as linseed oil, is extracted from the seed of the flax plant and is the main medium for oil paints.

Cold pressed linseed oil: The purest form of linseed oil. Its basic use is as a blending agent of oil paints.

Hot refining linseed oil: It is refined by steam heating and pressing, also known as steam pressing linseed oil, the yield is higher than cold pressing. At present, Chinese art supplies stores sell mostly hot refined linseed oil, which is divided into two kinds: decolorization and primary color.

Sun thickened linseed oil: Cold pressed and hot refined linseed oil is mainly used to make oil paint blending agent. The oil used for painting is thickened linseed oil. Thickening is usually done by sunlight exposure (see "Preparation of toner" for details). It is an excellent quick - drying oil for toning.

Polymerized linseed oil: It is a transparent and thick excellent painting toning oil made from linseed oil in sealed state and heated to 300℃ or more. Although it does not dry particularly fast, the resulting layers have unusual strength and crack resistance. It is suitable for classical transparent painting.

Flax toning oil: IT is cooked linseed oil, which has 10% light oil, 15% turpentine oil and 0.5 ~ 3% cobalt drying agent.

(3) Walnut oil (walnut oil)

This oil was used by European painters until the 18th century, when it was replaced by linseed oil. It has good fluidity, but it dries slowly. Contemporary painters use it as a tonic for classical paintings. There are two kinds of walnut oil on the market: cold pressed and matured cold pressed.

Cold pressed pure raw walnut oil: one of the best toning oils. You can use this oil and turpentine to draft, or you can mix the three oil or direct color.

Aged COLD PRESSED WALNUT OIL: MADE BY HEATING COLD PRESSED WALNUT OIL without air isolation. It contains lead oxide for use in homemade toner. Faster drying speed.

(4) safflower oil and poppy oil

Safflower oil: has good color persistence, does not yellow due to time, is the production of white and other light color pigments of high quality oil. It is used to produce white oil paint by famous pigment manufacturers.

Poppy oil: Extracted from opium seeds and used mainly to make white and light pigments. Slow drying, less firm conjunctival. Sun-thickened poppy oil is the best toning oil.

(5) emulsion matte toner (matte toner oil)

Containing cellulose, dama resin. Adjust it into the color, can make the shading layer produce matte effect. Used alternately with triad oil, suitable for classical transparent painting. Fast drying speed.

(6) Three-in-one toning oil (" three-in-one "toning oil)

It is a lustrous toning oil with which to paint or embellish. It is a mixture of one part flaxseed oil, one part dama resin varnish, and one to three parts turpentine. Moderate dryness.

(7) oil painting mixing paste

The paste is a much thicker medium. Can MAKE OPAQUE oil painting color into transparent color, the most suitable for transparent thin dye painting, and dry speed express, with its color thin dye, can immediately use different color painting.

(8) alkyd resin medium

It is a new material and may replace the traditional toning medium. There are many brands in foreign countries, it has obvious advantages: with oil color and when, can accelerate the drying time; Can increase transparency; Make the color layer more glossy; Make the color more saturated; Color layers are also more durable. It basically comes in two forms: a thick translucent fluid and an extremely thick paste. It can be used for heavy direct painting or smooth glazing.

(9) Mineral alcohol

Mineral alcohol, a by-product of petroleum, acts as a diluent in oil paintings, as does turpentine. As pure as water, the most volatile, but slightly less soluble.https://painting-portrait.com/

Oil Painting Materials List

https://drawpaintacademy.com/oil-painting-supply-list/

Below is information from a site that I used to know what I needed to get started with oil painting. It was really useful as someone who doesn’t have a great idea of how to approach oils. My lack of knowledge makes it harder for me to be confident trying something completely new. I made a list with prices of all materials needed to email to my social worker as she agreed they could give me a hand towards the overall cost. 

There are many types and brands of oil paints available. You can not go wrong with any of the major brands, as long as you go with the artist quality paints. Student quality paints have noticeably poorer performance.

Here is a versatile starter palette for oil painting:

Cardinal red

Yellow Ochre

Cardinal Yellow

Viridian Green

Alizarin Crimson (Red)

Burnt Umber

Titanium White

Ivory Black

Now if you are just starting out I would suggest you just save yourself some effort and purchase a starter kit. These will have all the colors you need when starting. You cannot go wrong as long as you have at least a red, yellow, blue (the primary colors) and white.

Paint solvent is used to break down the oil in your paint. The solvent will help:

Increase the fluidity of your paint

Dilute the paint, making it great for thin washes

Speed up the drying time of your oil paint dramatically

There are many types of solvents available, but if you are just starting out I would recommend an odorless solvent. Other alternatives like turpentine may be more powerful, but they are extremely strong on the senses.

Your oil paint already has oil in it, but you can add additional oil to change the consistency of your paint.

There are many types of drying oils to use in oil painting, but linseed is easily the most popular.

Oil medium is the counter to paint thinner. It is used to fatten up your paint and will:

Increase the fluidity of your paint.

Slow the drying time.

Increase the transparency of your paint, making it perfect for glazing.

Oil painting involves a steady balance between the amount of oil and solvent that you use.

The general rule is to start your oil painting with lots of solvent using thin washes, then progressively adding more oil to the mix. The last strokes on your painting should be the fattiest (oiliest).

10. Oil Painting Accessories

Here are some other accessories which you may find useful in oil painting:

Paper towels (for wiping any excess paint from your brushes and general cleaning).

Jars to hold your solvent and oil medium. I personally just use old mugs.

A charcoal pencil (just a useful tool to have).

Comfortable old clothes.
