The Paints

Oil paintings named after the type of paint used: slow-drying paint containing organic oils. The most popular oils include linseed oil and poppy seed oil, walnuts and soybeans, which are less expensive substitutes. oil paints pigments can be both minerals (lead, zinc, titanium, cadmium), land types (sienna, umber), or types of synthesis.

The mediums also dilute the color of your oil, such as diluents. Some are oil paint dries faster, bright or transparent, or even reducing the excessive weight loss. Check the label for this medium actually buy it. The most popular media is flaxseed oil. Although there are arguments about whether flaxseed oil actually makes some paints as clear as white oil color including blue, yellow poppy significantly over time, the use of these colors made for a safe alternative. Again, as mentioned above: It is recommended not to use paper, plastic, Styrofoam cups or containers of mediums and diluents. Mediums include oils (eg, flaxseed, walnuts, poppy, sunflower, lavender, clover), varnishes (dammar, mastic), balsam fir (eg, species of larch, Venice and Strasbourg, Canada balsam and balsam, turpentine rectified) and dry (turpentine cobalt).
