The History of Oil Painting
Even today, oil painting remains the most used technique in painting. A wide variety of vegetable oils can be used as a binder and each oil gives a different property to the quality of the paint. Oil painting was popularized by the early Renaissance artists of the Netherlands such as Jan Van Eyck and Robert Campin. Back then, artists had to prepare the oil paint themselves by mixing the pigments and then applying the paint onto board. The oil painting technique was invented around the same time as the canvas, two major innovations for the history of painting. The 19th century brought a new technical innovation, the portable oil paint tube, which allowed artists to work outside their studio. Painting with tubes of oil paint was used extensively by impressionist artists, especially for landscape painting. This technique is still appreciated today for its versatility. The oil paint can be transformed with different mixtures to change the texture or sheen. Also, oil is slow-drying, so allows for retouching possibilities on the canvas during the creation of the work.
