Updated: Jul 26, 2023

Painting with oil is often seen as the pinnacle of artistic expression, and this is reflected in its higher cost compared to other mediums. The increased expense can be well worth it, however, as oil paints have a unique ability to blend and mix colors to create different effects. The paints also have a longer drying time, allowing the artist to work more slowly and achieve greater precision and detail in their work. Oil paints also last much longer than other mediums, so the initial cost can be considered an investment in the longevity of your artwork. For those willing to put in the time and money, painting with oil can be an incredibly rewarding and satisfying experience.
