Oil Painting- Art Supplies

Artist oil paints

Artist oil paints contain a full pigment load, suspended in a binder, generally linseed oil or another drying oil such as safflower oil, poppyseed oil, or walnut oil.

Use them on stretched canvas or boards that have been primed to accept oil paints. Clean-up with turpentine or mineral spirits.

Student grade oil paints

Student grade oil paints have working characteristics similar to professional artist oils, but with lower pigment concentrations, less expensive formulas, and a smaller range of colors.

More expensive pigments are generally replicated by hues. Colors are designed to be mixed, although color strength is lower. Hues may not have the same mixing characteristics as regular full-strength colors.
