There is something special about oil paints. It is captivating and breath taking. The way the light catches and moves across an oil painting is not captured by a camera. An oil painting changes in light throughout the day.

I started painting with oils. I felt like I was hitting a wall in my creative practice when I used acrylic paint. The work that I was doing required a lot of paint. I felt limited by the medium I was using. I was mixing many shades of the same color just to get what I wanted. I showed a friend some of my work. She thought I was using oils to create my paintings and was surprised that I was using acrylics. The result I was trying to get with oil painting was easy to accomplish with oils.

But oil? Really? I had many reservations. You might have some of the same reservations. Too messy. Too gross. Too long to dry. Too toxic. Oil paint gets a bad rap.

They are messy but you can plan around it.

They take a long time to dry, but you get used to it. Because of this, you get more time to blend.

The toxicity is a concern, but it is not much different than acrylics. The same toxins are found in both oils and acrylics. People use turpentine with oils to make them toxic. I do not use a lot of solvent in my work. The things that you add to oils to thin them out are called solvents. You don’t need to use a solvent if you use watersoluble oils. I do not use turpentine to clean my brushes. Sometimes I use wet wipes. turpentine is more toxic than gamsol. If you are concerned about the toxicity, there are precautions you can take to make it less so. Wear gloves when working with air.

The learning curve for painting with oils is huge. When I first started painting with oils, I felt like I had to relearn the whole process. I was used to painting with layers. I only use one layer of painting with oils now, because what used to take me 10 layers of paint in a piece now only takes me one layer. I like the depth of color you can get with an oil paint. There is no substitute for it. I’ve been painting with oils for a long time, but now look at an acrylic painting and think it’s fake. I promise that I am more than just an oil painter. Oils are more dynamic.
