Oil painting is a kind of painting made on canvas linen, cardboard or wooden board by blending pigments with quick-drying vegetable oil. When it comes to oil painting, we can't help but want to arrive? Finch's Mona Lisa and Connor's Pearl Girl are all priceless. Why are oil paintings so expensive? I think there are several reasons.

first of all, when it comes to oil painting, we have to talk about oil painting pigments. The birth of oil painting is inseparable from oil painting pigments. The top oil painting pigments and watercolor pigments are all taken from natural materials, and some are precious stones. For example, lapis lazuli was more expensive than gold in those days, which made the blue pigment particularly precious.

Secondly, oil painting is a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, which makes oil painting extremely valuable and precious. An oil painting may take months, a year, a few years, or even longer. When we appreciate oil painting, we must appreciate its color. Most oil paintings have realistic painting methods, and they are detailed. In order to draw an oil painting, many painters will go far away to sketch. Only by going deep into nature and feeling the beauty of nature can they draw a satisfactory oil painting. Of course, the cost of this process should also be included in the cost of this painting. Painters usually choose to sketch in the deep mountains, where the living environment is very bad. They don't know how many mountains to climb or how many rivers to cross every day, and the process is very difficult. In addition, the life of sketching is also very lonely and boring, and only their own works accompany them. Every successful work is bought by the painter's own time, money and energy for many years.

thirdly, oil painting is irreplaceable. If it's just to record the beauty of nature, it's enough to have a camera and a mobile phone. Why paint oil paintings? Obviously, we need unique beauty. Oil painting itself has a special texture belonging to oil painting, which can only be imitated and irreplaceable. The artistic sense conveyed by the texture of this oil painting is the unique beauty of the texture of the oil painting. ?
