    Learn More About Oil Paintings

    If you’re looking for some bold, dramatic artwork for your home, an oil painting is an excellent choice thanks to a unique medium that utilizes oil-based paints to create dramatic and colorful images. When it comes to acrylic vs. oil paint, it’s mostly about the consistency and texture of the type of paint used. Each of these types of paintings are unique, but acrylic paintings use water-based paints, while oil paintings use paint made with special drying oils and a base infused with linseed or some other carrier ingredient that helps the paint retain moisture longer.


    The thicker consistency of oil paint gives these types of paintings a distinctive look, and it also allows the artist to build up the paints to create multiple textures and lines on the paper or canvas.
