What about oil?

What about oil?

Some think that the oil is out of fashion today, they relate it to the old Renaissance painters. Others complain about drying time, the difficulty of handling and cleaning materials. Personally, I believe that oil is for certain types of artists and works, but can provide great satisfaction.

You need to have some of these features to use it properly:

1. Do not be lazy
2. To be organized
3. Do not go crazy every time you tha you have to clean brushes, palettes, etc.
4. Be patient
5. Be aware that learning is long, and
6. love this technique

There  are no limits for oil painting, you can develope any style (not only portraits and landscapes). I believe that in a world that seems to move ever faster we want everything to be done right now, but oil gives us the opportunity to evade the rush and focus on our work and creativity. Why not try?

I let you one of my works as an example with oil:
