Originals in this selection, Oil.
Gloss, depth, time
Oil is the paint of art history: slow, deep and impossible to replace in its effect. Oil paintings for sale let you choose between delicate detail work and bold paint application.
Oil paint dries by oxidation, not by evaporation. It stays workable for days, blends softly and builds depth through glazes, meaning thin translucent layers. This structure is why good oil paintings look different up close than from afar.

Range of styles
In oil the field runs from Photorealism with the finest transitions through Impressionism to Expressive and gestural with thick brushwork. Abstract is also classic ground for oil.
Prices and care
In terms of price, under 500 euro, 500 to 1,000 euro and 1,000 to 2,000 euro are usual brackets for narrowing down. Do not hang oil paintings in kitchens or bathrooms, since steam and grease stress the surface; information on the paint type is under oil paint.
