Explore Traditional Oil Painting Techniques

Oil painting offers artists considerable flexibility in the way colour can be applied and manipulated. Artist mediums such as stand oil allow painters to adjust the handling characteristics of their colours to suit a particular technique.

Stand oil is especially useful for artists seeking a smoother application and improved flow in their oil colours. It can be incorporated into suitable painting mediums for glazing and techniques where a more controlled, level application is desired.

The 100ml size is a practical choice for artists and art students, as only a relatively small quantity of an artist medium may be required depending on the technique being used.

For students learning traditional oil painting, experimenting with different mediums can help develop an understanding of how additions to oil colour affect consistency, flow and the overall painting process.

As with all specialist artist mediums, use Dala Artist Stand Oil according to the manufacturer’s directions and appropriate oil-painting practices. The quantity used will depend on the desired consistency and technique.

Pair it with artist oil paints, oil painting brushes, canvas, palettes and other artist mediums available from Speciality.
