The Different Oil Painting Techniques

By Scott Miller


Creating an item from other items is a gift. This is exactly what is involved in art. An individual may have an image in their heads that they may want to bring out. This can be done using oil painting techniques. There are different methods that can be put to use. However, one artist may have a liking for this particular trend.

Most of the time, the work completed tends to represent their individual. It may be their likes and dislikes. A person into nature may want to paint animals. To show strength and fierceness, one would portray a lion. To show grace, a young gazelle would definitely fit the picture. An important part of nature also involves the terrain of the land.

An artist can come up with still life images. These are perfect to show their talents. They will show how they come up with different shapes and add light on to the image. Shadows could also be part of this work and mixing all these aspects together is pure genius. These experts may be hired by individuals who are interested in portraits of themselves.

This can be tricky when an individual has to sit in one spot for this to happen. Luckily, this is not the only way that such images can be made. A client can bring their favorite photos with them and ask the painter to try to come up with that. These experts are ready for any challenge as this is the only way they can get better at what they do.

Experts need to know the type of oils they should use. Some dry slower than others do. One should not continue painting over oils that have not dried otherwise the work would be ruined. Once they have dried, it is possible to make all the necessary changes. Before painting begins, one needs to set up a table with all the necessary items.

An interesting method involves color blocking. This is where one masters the use of different shades. When colors blend, the results are beautiful. A change of color can be applied on the edges. The individual will apply a lighter shade at this point. This is through diluting the colors that were majorly used for the rest of the object.

Layers of paint are placed over other layers before the painting is completed. Those who will use multiple layers need to work with those that are thinner and light in color. After they are dry, they can move on to adding those that are thicker and some shades darker. This method allows for the all the colors added to blend well.

At the end of the day, the artist may be looking to sell their work and get a good amount of money. This means that they should make work stand out from that of their fellow colleagues. They can incorporate new skills every now and then to prevent their work from being predictable. Moreover, it is also good to perfect what they already now such as the use of brushes.
