A technique with using oil paints  –  in this technique painter uses paints which consist of pigment (cleaned dried color) and binder (in original it was linseed oil) this makes technique of oil paints special.

   Artists mixed these two components and as result they received oil paints. This technique is the most mobile for painters  –  the most convenient technique for plein air ( French expression which means "in the open air" and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors) because for artist is comfortable to redraw the picture or apply paint on paint.

The best way to perform the technique is on canvas which should be well streched. This can be checked with the drum sound when to hit. A painter puts his daubs on canvas quickly, sweeply, vividly and impressively, but the paint dries for a long time and that why one should wait for the result approximately 1 week.

  This technique is not considered long-lived  –  paint layer becomes yellow, cracks and it coveres with craquelure, which is considered as well exotic and confirms the value / prescription of picture. In this technique I paint portrait, landscape, still-life paintings, urban landscape.
