Medium of Art and oil paint

If I wanted to make a large piece of artwork that would be displayed in front of a large group of people, I would use oil paint as the medium.

Advantages of Using Oil Paint

Oil paint is a dye, thinner, and binder blend (oil). The pigment is the color component of the paint, while the oil is the liquid component or container that contains the pigment. Thinner is an ingredient applied to the pigment-oil mixture to make it easier to apply the paint with a brush.

Deep and Versatile

Oil paints are lightweight and have deep color, which is one of the reasons I will prefer them. As a result, they can be used in a variety of ways, from dense, thick impasto to thin, turpentine-diluted coatings.

Extended Working Time

Besides, the slow-drying characteristic of oil paints would allow me to work on the paint for a much longer period, thereby enabling me to create a well-finished artwork. Additionally, I would choose oil paints because they can be left open or exposed to air for long periods without drying. Such a property would make it easy for me to work on a piece of artwork for several sessions without developing the fear of the paint drying up prematurely. The slow-drying property of oil paints is also helpful in creating luminous and hardwearing colors, which would help me to create unique artworks.

Blendability and Durability

Oil paints are also suitable for blending with other surrounding paints. For instance, when blended on canvas, oil paints can create artistic brush blends and strokes that are not possible with other paint types. Besides, oil paints are very durable and create easily blendable bright colors.

Conclusion

In overall, I would choose to oil paints as my medium if I were to create an artwork to be exhibited to many people due to their wide range of advantages. That is the ability to blend with the surrounding paints, stay for long without drying, create luminous and hardwearing colors, as well as their ability to give artists enough time to work on their creations or make changes.
