Oil Paintings on Canvas ? the Process of Creating a Masterpiece
Oil painting is a technique that has been used by eminent artists to create some of the finest artistic works we have ever known. Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper”; Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” and “Café Terrace at Night”; Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam”, are all famous examples of oil painting. It is a difficult process, but once it is mastered, an artist can undoubtedly create oil paintings that are far superior in quality than water color paintings, acrylic paintings and other artistic mediums.

Oil Paintings Vs Acrylic Paintings
Oil paint is made up of particles of pigment suspended in a drying oil, and takes much longer to dry relative to other kinds of paint. Acrylic paint is a paint that includes pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion with an added quality of fast drying. Acrylic paint, even after being diluted with water, becomes water resistant once dry. Depending on the proportion of dilution with water, gels, or pastes, a finished acrylic painting can have the look of a watercolor or an oil painting, or some other unique blend
Linseed oil is the main ingredient that binds oil paint; on the contrary, water is the main ingredient that binds acrylic paint. Hence, we can say that oil paint is “oil based” and acrylic paint is “water based.”
