Oil painting, a centuries-old medium, has its unique set of challenges and rewards. Many prolific artists like Zaneta Pernicova have mastered this medium with their distinct styles and techniques.
1.Choosing the Right Canvas: Opt for a pre-stretched and primed canvas to ensure longevity and prevent oil absorption.
2. Selecting the Right Brushes: Use a mix of natural and synthetic brushes. Natural brushes hold paint better, while synthetic ones are easier to clean.
3. Mixing Colors: Start with basic colors and learn how to mix them to achieve desired shades. As Zaneta often mentions, "Less is more; begin with fewer colors and understand their behavior."
4. Thin to Thick Technique**: Apply thinner paint layers first and build up with thicker paint. This prevents cracking.
5. Clean Your Brushes**: After each session, clean brushes using linseed oil or a brush cleaner.
