Oil Painting History And Techniques

Oil paints have been most artists' first choice for hundreds of years, with good reason. The colors are gorgeous, you can do anything with them and they last forever. Oil paint is slow drying so you can remove what you don't like while it's wet or you can paint over it when it's dry. Oil paint is easy to use once you learn the basics. I've taught beginners to masters and I've learned that everything builds on just a few basic concepts that I will show you here.
Oil Paint is a very exciting and versatile medium. A new artist is presented with endless possibilities for creating art with oil paints. Oil Paint can be applied in a thick buttery fashion or thinned down to a watery consistency. It can be applied with a painting knife or with various brushes. You can paint with oils straight from the tube or mix them with an assortment of exciting mediums to create beautiful effects. It is because of this versatility that oil painting is such a popular choice amongst new artists.
Oil painting is a difficult medium to master and can confuse and intimidate beginners. Many artists get discouraged and quit far too early.
Oil painting is almost as old as civilization in world, dating back to the ancient Mediterranean Greeks, Romans, Chinese and Egyptians. Their techniques of mixing encaustics (wax) and natural minerals are well documented. Basic colorants were those found naturally in their landscape. Those minerals initially included copper, manganese oxide and iron and the wax was most likely bees wax. Oils such as flax oil, walnut and poppy seed were used in culinary applications, but there is no evidence of them being used in paintings of this period. Tempera (dry colorant made of minerals and oxides and then combined with binder and water) was combined with essential oils to make a more resilient material. Often the oil was used as a covering over a tempera work to stabilize the art. The tempera binders used by Italian artisans included such things as whole egg, milk or animal glue.
By the end of the Roman Empire and up to the Renaissance (15th century), these ancient techniques were all but abandoned. At that time Italian and Greek artists used olive oil in their secret process of creating oil paints. This secrecy of the Italian and Greek formulas allowed their dominance of the painting world for nearly three centuries. The use of olive oil did, however, greatly lengthen the drying time of the paint. During this time, drying oils - those that aided in hastening drying times - were introduced. Some of the early examples included linseed oil, with poppy seed and walnut oils being used to a lesser degree. All these oils were aided with the heat of the sun for speeding the drying of the paints. Some choices were less inclined to crack, yellow and darken than the linseed oil.
One of the first examples of this radical new technique is van Eyck's famous painting Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife – The Wedding Portrait (1434). This painting clearly displays the effect of multi layering (what is now referred to as glazing) and the visual brilliance it projects. The layers of oil, dried between applications, allowed for pigments to float and create a translucence and color intensity not before seen. From this time on, it is oil paint and the results it gives that make paintings in that media so appealing. Leonardo da Vinci improved the technique by slowly boiling the oil with an addition of bees wax. The resulting media did not darken as much as the components without wax. Other artists such as Tintoretto and Rubens studied earlier formulas and created their own, proving that artists were personally responsible for calculating and formulating their own paints.
