Oil Paints:

Oil Colour is considered by many to be the true form of painting for the professional artist. This can be attributed to its use by some of the greatest artist’s over the centuries.

Oil paint is a flexible medium, it's smooth buttery consistency coupled with its slow drying time means that it can be manipulated freely and extensively on the canvas to produce an infinate range of textures and effects. Diluted with thinners it can be used to build delicate, translucent glazes that seem to glow with an inner light. Used straight from the tube it produces thick, rich impastos in which the texture of the paint and the mark of the brush become an integral part of the finished painting.

Contrary to popular beleif, oil paint is not a difficult medium to work with, quite the opposite really, it is the perfect medium for the beginner because it is very easy to correct what you have done, either by re-working, wiping it out or painting over it.

The introduction of modern mediums all help to create an endless list of choices for the modern day artist.
