  • Oil paint is simple. At its most basic, it’s just a mixture of oil and pigment. But depending on the color and quality, a liter of this paint could cost you $285 to $1,100.
    While the rise of oil paint is associated with the Renaissance, paintings using poppy-seed oil have been dated as far back as seventh-century Afghanistan. So what is it that makes this paint so special? And why is it so expensive?

      I used to work in a craft store, and the highest "loss" (shoplifted) areas were almost always the fine art paints/markers, and jewelry supplies. Partly because the cost adds up fast if you want the good stuff for your project... and partly because there's lots of small, valuable, easily re-sellable items you can shove into a bag or purse without breaking them.

    A lot of the metals used to make some paint pigments are toxic and can have deadly reactions with very common chemicals.

      Ava Parker find that I like acrylics more because I find myself over blending a lot. The drying allows a restraint that is welcomed for me. It’s also much more affordable. I also find that when working with oils, they have a tendency to become muddy due to their mixing capabilities. I usually mix a slow drying medium into my acrylics before I start painting. Also, more expensive acrylics, like golden acrylics or liquitex have a longer drying time.

      Fun story. I bought a cool ring second hand. Big stone. Too small for me but I liked the blue. Turned out to be Lapis lazuli. Had it on my dresser for about three weeks. Liked looking at it. One Sunday morning, for no real reason, felt inclined to stuff it into my pocket. A lady at church, who is a bit of an outlier, shows up wearing a scarf exactly the color and speckling of the ring. I walk up to her, "This is for you." and hand her the ring. :) That was years ago and it still makes me smile.

      Back in the 1800s they made a chemical process for mass producing the molecularly identical substance as lapis gemstone from scratch, so modern ultramarine is pretty cheap. And identical/better than the old stuff (purer, no rock mixed in, etc). There's zero reason anymore to use the actual gemstone other than being a hipster.

    I've been painting off and on since the late 60s. There are many grades of oil paints for painters. Everything from 'student grade' to very expensive professional grades. Unless you are a top tier pro and command prices to match, you don't really need the best stuff. About 90% of painters will do just fine on anything they can get at Michaels, Dick Blick, or any of the other art supply outlet. Not every painting is done with a thought to posterity or lasting for hundreds of years. I consider the vast majority of my stuff as mostly homework assignments. They are a learning exercise, a way to try out and experiment with ideas. Not every brush stroke is magic. It's a step in an ongoing process. Some things work out and a lot doesn't. You can liken it to an athlete training. Training sessions are just that; training. Not every session is a Superbowl or World Series or the finals at Wimbledon. There are a lot of paintings that never see the light of day.
    Paint manufacturers put out a rainbow of colors, but you basically need less than a dozen. Really only three plus white. The primaries of a red, a blue, and a yellow. You can mix any color from those three and white.

    Here's a few tips for new artists - Student grade paints are fine, but always buy professional grades of white and, to a lesser extent, yellows. White is actually your most used colour and will be in most of your mixes and it needs to be good and cover well.
    Basic palette? - start with just - Titanium White, Process Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and Burnt Umber and that's it. Add in a tube of Hooker's Green or Sap Green, unless you want to get through an awful lot of yellow! Apart from white, just about every colour you lay down will be a mix and the above will allow you to mix just about every colour there is.

      There's plenty of very cheap botanical based pigments too that more closely follow those you see in nature normally, but they aren't very good for oil painting because they fade over months/years. For a flower that only exist sin spring, that doesn't matter to the plant. For a painter it is a big problem. So the expensive ones have to be usually mineral based.

    I am close to having mastered, if that is possible, watercolor pigments. I have no desire to work in acrylics. I have intentionally refrained from oils on advise of a true master. It is coming close to the time to fulfill my personal dream of using a few, very high quality oil pigments to blend my own hues and shades of color for my work. I mostly prefer birds and or flowers. Solid, vibrant colors as well as the ability to produce buffered, gentle hues of colors are important. Acrylic seems too solid/dense/opaque to me, while oils seem deeper/more translucent/richer to me. Nice video, thank you for sharing!

      The artists did not know they were mummies, manufacturers were scamming them basically, and they stopped buying it when it got out. The equally good, normal brown also available at the time that they were pretending it was was just refined brown rust. Grabbing a mummy lying around was cheaper though that manufacturing a whole barrel of rust and cleaning and processing it etc.

      Professional pigments are made sometimes from very rare minerals that can be really expensive because they were over mined in the past or are really hard to find and produce at cheap costs. Mineral pigments often work better with paints than synthetic ones, but I know this from watercolor so it might be different for paints? But the pigment your probably using for slime is synthetic since a lot of mineral pigments for paints can actually be extremely toxic to touch or inhale!

    You know I now feel really bad that when I was a teenager we used to mock our art teacher for getting furious if we'd waste or forget to close the tubes of paint.This puts things in perspective!

    I need to show this to my parents so they understand why I was so pissed when they let my little sister play with my oil paints.
    Edit for clarification: I bought the oil paints with the first paycheck I got from my first part-time job. Because I wanted nice stuff, I bought mid-range quality paints, which were ruined when they let my sister, who was 8 at the time, paint with them. It ruined my brushes and my favorite and most expensive colors were completely used.

    In Austin, Texas, occasionally University of Texas students will take an art class for a semester and then get tired of it. And at the end the year, when mom and dad come to pick them up, if it doesn’t fit in their vehicle, it gets tossed. I used to dumpster dive in May and find all sorts of treasures, including full tubes of pigmented paints.
