Why oil lasts so long
Oil on canvas is the classic pairing that has carried pictures for centuries: deep colors, fabric under the brush and a surface that lives with the light. Oil on canvas paintings for sale between 2,000 and 5,000 euro come in many styles.
Oil paint consists of pigment and linseed oil. It dries by oxidation, not by evaporation, and forms an elastic film. That is why well-painted oil pictures last for centuries when they are stored sensibly. The weave beneath the paint often remains visible and makes each work tactile.

Styles at a glance
Oil paint suits abstract painting, surrealist scenes and gestural pictures alike. Soft transitions, strong ridges and fine glazes are all possible.
Hanging and caring
Hang oil pictures on interior walls, away from radiators and windows with constant strong sun. For dust, a soft brush is enough. Ask about varnish and stretcher depth before you choose a format. A look at the back tells you about the stretcher, the hanging and the quality of the canvas.
