"Good art is not what it
looks like, but what it does to us."
Roy Adzak
Oil painting is done on
surfaces with pigment ground into a medium of oil - especially in early
modern Europe, linseed oil. Other oils occasionally used include poppyseed
oil, walnut oil, and safflower oil. These oils result in different
properties in the oil paint, such as less yellowing or different drying
times. Source:
