The Work Flow
THE TECHNIQUE
Usually paint is mixed with linseed oil , or any other solvent to create thinner faster or slower drying paints. The rule Fat over Lean is used to prevent cracking and peeling of paint.
Paint Dries due to oxidation and not evaporation to give painting a longer life and can be preserved for years after creation, followed by varnish coat after drying, however, Art conservators do not consider and oil painting dry until it is 60 to 80 years old.
My work is a combination of both Fat on Lean and Wet on Wet techniques to give depth to paint used in visual convocation.
Oil as Medium
Oil Painting is one of the oldest and most effective ,vividly used technique and medium of painting. This helps an artist to portray light and shade effects with ease.
Artists have been painting with oil paints for hundreds of years and oil paints continue to be popular worldwide due to their versatility, quality, and color. While getting started with oil painting is fairly easy, there is a little bit more to it than acrylics since you are working with toxic solvents and mediums and the drying time is much longer. Individual artists who have been painting for awhile have their own favorite brands, brushes, palettes, and mediums, but here are some general tips that may be useful to you if you are just starting out with oil paints.
Acrylic as Medium
Acrylic on canvas and paper is another widely used technique in my work, the advantage of the medium is quick emulsion of acrylic polymer with strong water based binding. Acrylic retarders like glycol or glycerin-based additives, are used in my Acrylic work for color retard-ness.
Acrylic class paintings are newer and faster, though the resultant output has re-semblance of water and oil mediums. Acrylic work too has long life used with fixtures
Acrylic washes on translucent layers of previous coats, gives the work depth and better visual perception .
Charcoal and Ink
Few of work is created using Charcoal and Ink on paper and matt finished hand made paper. Charcoal is also used with fixatives for longer life of work.
You can also see some of work made in Pastels, Mix Media ( Oil and Acrylic ) with tint of charcoal.
