Oil painting source

Oil painting is one of the most important paintings in Western painting. Oil painting originated in Europe and was invented by the Dutch around the 15th century. It has a history of more than 600 years.

   The base of oil paintings is mostly made of cotton or linen, or covered with wooden boards, or stretched on a wooden frame to form a certain area of plane, which is painted with special oil paints. Because oil paints do not change color after drying and can be blended in a variety of colors, the easel can produce rich, realistic works of art.

  In the late 19th century, due to the development of science and technology, many new materials were used in the field of oil painting, such as acrylic paints, paints, etc.
