Overview
An oil painting (油彩画) is a painting made with oil paint. Or, the painting part itself.
From the Renaissance to the present day, oil paint has been a central element in Western art, and many masterpieces have been painted with oil paint.
It is a paint made by kneading pigments with oil and using a painting fluid instead of water to dilute it. Compared to other paints, oil paints take longer to dry, but this allows for more time to create and revise.
