What do you need to know about oil painting?
You can also paint on other surfaces such as wooden boards, but you need to make sure that the surface you paint on has been primed with gesso. In oil painting, there are some “rules” which you should follow to avoid your paint cracking.
How does the color of an oil painting change?
The two charts below show the change in brightness in just one white oil color, Titanium White, over a year’s period, as the oil slightly changes color in response to the quantity of light that it is receiving. What you see in the charts are just the L* value (lightness, which goes from 1-100) in an L*a*b* system of color measurement.
Why are oil paintings not done on paper?
Paper has not typically been used by traditional oil painters because oil and solvents from oil paint can cause the paper to degrade and because it is thought that oil paintings on paper can be prone to cracking when subjected to changes in humidity.
What’s the fat over lean rule for oil painting?
However, it is still important to understand them. If you want to make sure you never have an issue with the fat over lean rule, then just use paint straight from the tube. This way most of the paint will have a similar drying time and the paint on top should not dry any faster than the paint at the bottom.

What happens if you varnish a painting with oil paint?
The worst that could happen would be that your varnish layer would crack as the paints contracts as it dries, however, this would really only be most apparent if you painted with a very thick application of paint. Also, the oil wouldn’t be able to fully harden so it wouldn’t be a super strong bond between the layers.
