Oil on Canvas

Many people dream of having an original oil painting by a talented artist. Oil paints have been around for centuries, and although there are now other options such as acrylics, there is still something very special about the traditional use of oil on canvas. Famous artists from Leonardo Da Vinci to Picasso have used oil paints, but at first they painted on wooden panels. By the early sixteenth century canvas was more popular, being lighter to carry around and needing less preparation before the paint was applied.

To know you are seeing a work of art exactly as the artist intended is a great feeling. To own a unique painting is a thrill. You can be proud to tell your admiring friends “It’s an original”…
