The first step in learning the art of oil painting is to understand how an oil painting is built up? What materials are used and what are the steps? An oil painting consists of four major layers: the support layer, the base layer, the painting layer and the protection layer. The base layer can be divided into a gum base layer and a painting base layer, and the painting layer can be divided into a paint layer and an overpainting layer. Whether using traditional painting methods or direct painting methods, whether classical realism or contemporary painting, it is impossible to break away from this structure. Any oil painting that goes against this structure will have various problems.
