January 18, 2008, Newsletter Issue #102: What’s so Great About Oil Paints?

Tip of the Week

Oil paints have been around for a very, very long time. They have managed to show great durability and brilliant color from the very start and this makes them popular choices for painting. Oil paints can be brushed on very thickly or can be thinned out with a solvent. This makes an oil paint very versatile. Oil paints also dry very slowly which allows an artist to go back and correct mistakes and take their time on a piece of artwork.
