The difference between acrylic painting and oil painting

The differences between acrylic painting and oil painting are as follows:

1, different layers

The color beauty of oil painting, especially the effect of classical oil painting, is the superposition effect of different colors produced by layer upon layer overprinting. Compared with propylene, oil painting pigments are more stable and easier to preserve. The color effect produced by repeated application of propylene depends on the color of the top layer, and it cannot be overprinted layer by layer.

2. Different technologies

Oil painting and acrylic painting belong to the category of color painting. Although the materials, techniques and textures used in the two paintings are different, it is still difficult for painting lovers who have not received professional training to accurately distinguish the two works.

The color of oil painting can become very light through the blending of color oil, which has a transparent and translucent effect, or it can be very thick and has a strong hiding power. When creating, it can be covered at multiple levels, and it takes a long time to draw. The advantages of acrylic painting are bright colors, strong hiding power and easy drying of pigments. This greatly shortens the painter's painting and creative time.

3. Different materials

Oil painting pigment is a kind of special painting pigment for oil painting, which is made by adding oil to pigment powder and stirring and grinding with glue. Like other painting pigments, the basic components are composed of pigment, bulk pigment, vehicle and some auxiliary materials such as molding agent, stabilizer, slow drying agent or drier. Most of the pigment powder used by ancient masters came from soil and minerals. The other part comes from plants or animals.
