OIL CANVAS
Oil painting is the
art process of applying a medium of oil and pigment to the painting surface
which could be anything from paper, board or canvas. The oil is typically a
drying oil such as linseed oil but could also be other oils such as safflower
or walnut oils. These oils can be used to develop a varnish finish by boiling
them with a resin to develop a gloss or sheen finish to the painting.This technique is different to acrylic technique
The main medium for
thinner application here is mineral; turpentine
This art technique was
used in ancient times but was only resurrected in the 15thC in the Middle ages
when this technique became the main one for artistic expression especially
during the Renaissance period
Painting in oil is
done in various styles the first one being that of Realism.
Here the artist
paints in what many regard as real expression trying to show the view that world
the "way it is" view using his skill of colour and tone and illusion to get texture
and true perspective and true depiction of lighting
In Photo-realism we have the extension of
realism to depict reality as it really is by greater clarification and less
distortion to the objects or scene enhancing this by paying great attention to
the smaller details and feature. Nothing is too small or insignificant to be
left out . This has the final effect of the scene as having Super Clarity.
Other terms used here are, Super Realism
or Hyper Realism
Abstraction paints the essential core of the object or
scene. It tries to get the essential core or outline as determined by the
painter and does not try to depict its true realism as discussed above. In a
way the painter is trying to be more intellectual or emotional here by trying
to evoke another dimension to feel/see" the scenario
On the other hand "Abstract" art does not try
to connect with any reality at all generally but is using the expression of the
technique of painting and the qualities of the medium the are using
Here the of the style
of painting to be more open ended as to how the final result may or may not
turn out.
It is more explorative
and open ended
Impressionism was developed i the 19th century and became
and still is a very important painting style though it was greatly resisted and
even considered vulgar when first introduced
