Is it expensive to buy canvas and oil paint to study oil painting? Thank you

Words that speak for themselves in numbers:

Painting an oil painting with a size of 40 50 centimeters, you need a wooden inner frame, ** at about 10 yuan, you need a piece of linen, linen is on rice**, generally speaking, a meter is about 40 yuan (this is the average**, there are different differences in quality), it can be estimated that the cost of the cloth used in this painting is more than ten yuan.

A number of latex substrates are needed, and the cost is about 10 yuan.

The above is the cost of the necessary substrate for an oil painting, made by hand, at about 30 yuan, and the ready-made one on the market is about 40 yuan (but most of the quality is very poor and not suitable for oil painting).

Pigments, how much to use at a time is not necessarily, each person's painting method is different, just say the ** of the pigment, Windsor Newton's large pigment is more than ten yuan, if you learn oil painting, it is obviously to buy a large branch of more affordable, then if you need ten kinds of pigments, it is more than 100 yuan, you can calculate yourself.

In addition, oil painting also requires special pens and toners, that is, turpentine, linseed oil, dama oil, etc., all of which require money.

Compared to gouache painting, it is not generally expensive, you can calculate it yourself.

It depends on where you bought it. What kind of quality to buy. I paint in oil.

In Shenzhen Dafen Oil Painting Village. There are several types of canvases here. The grades are also different.

The pigments are also different. It's much cheaper than other places.

Learning to paint is actually burning money...

There are different brands, some are expensive and some are cheap.

It is suitable for beginners to use oil painting paper, and for professional oil painting, use oil canvas.

**Aspect: The oil canvas is stretched on the wooden frame, and the cost is much higher than that of oil painting paper;

Operation: The biggest feature of oil painting paper is that it eliminates the process of brushing oil painting base material or eliminating the need to lay the base, and oil canvas, no matter how good the oil canvas, must also be brushed with one layer, or even several layers of oil painting base material or milky white glue.

Performance: oil painting paper is to paste a layer of medical gauze on white cardboard, and paint a powdery base material on the gauze to imitate the surface texture effect of linen, the base material is seriously oil-absorbing, and the texture is too rough and not easy to preserve, the size should not be too large, the corners are especially easy to damage, the advantage is that the cost is low and lightweight; Oil canvas is the most commonly used material for professional oil painters, oil canvas mainly includes pure linen, cotton and linen blend, pure cotton cloth three kinds, the canvas has the highest strength, and is not easy to loosen and deform after framing, easy to save and the size can be very large.

There are many substrates that can be used in oil painting, including wood, textiles, paper, metal, and stone, but the most used is textiles, mainly linen used as a canvas, and the advantage of paper as a base is that the cost is low and lightweight, and the disadvantage is that it is not easy to preserve, the size should not be too large, and the corners are especially easy to be damaged, and it is more troublesome to treat the paper to be suitable for painting oil painting itself.

The advantage of linen is that it is also relatively lightweight, easy to store after being bandaged, and the size can be very large.

At present, there is a commodity called oil painting paper circulating in the domestic market, which is to paste a layer of medical gauze on the white cardboard, and paint a powdery base on the gauze to imitate the surface texture effect of linen, but the quality of this commodity is extremely bad, the base material is seriously oil-absorbing, and the texture is too rough, which will cause a waste of pigment and wear the brush at the same time, the color of the pigment will deteriorate seriously, and it will become dirty and dull, in fact, it is not suitable for painting oil painting at all, but it is very cheap. Every year, there are still many amateurs and students who buy it, and if you want to learn oil painting authentically, it is recommended not to use it.

If you want to learn authentic oil painting, you also have to learn to handle linen by yourself and make the foundation, and most of the finished fabrics on the market are of poor quality and are not suitable for oil painting.

The picture on oil painting paper cannot be rolled and is not easy to preserve.

The biggest feature of oil painting paper is that it eliminates the process of brushing the oil painting base material or the need to lay the base, and the oil canvas, no matter how good the oil canvas is, it is also necessary to brush a layer, or even several layers of oil painting base material or milky white glue.

Mechanistically speaking, the two of them have similar mechanistic effects.

**In terms of oil paper, it seems that oil painting paper is slightly more expensive than ordinary oil canvas.

Oil painting paper is very convenient to use, and there is no need for the process of priming.

The canvas used for oil painting should be linen, because the flax fiber has a relatively small expansion range when the temperature and humidity change, and it is suitable for preservation. Cotton cloth should not be used as a base material for oil paintings, because the cotton fibers are severely stretched, and during the preservation process, they will expand and contract violently, causing the canvas to loosen and wrinkle or cause the color layer of the base layer to peel off. However, the pure hemp of the canvas on the market is very high, and the blended fabric containing a small amount of cotton fiber can be selected for general exercises.

Production of oil on canvas:

After a piece of fine linen or canvas is tightly pressed against the frame, the canvas is first brushed with the canvas base, a milky white acrylic liquid that dries and is elastic and not afraid to fold. This layer is the lowest line of defense of the canvas, which prevents the front side of the painting from penetrating into contact with the bottom surface and the cloth, and also prevents moisture from penetrating from the back side of the canvas, and is a very important isolation layer. After drying, it is like a transparent film covering the surface of the canvas, insoluble in water and other liquids.

Once the base is dry, apply a canvas paint, a white acrylic emulsion that does not dissolve in water and other liquids when dry;

Wait for the first coat of paint to dry, and then brush the second coat of paint. If you want to paint a flat light effect, the canvas has been prepared at this time, and when it is dry, it can be used, and the oil painting will present a flat light and high color purity effect;

If you want to make the picture completely non-absorbent and shiny, or to paint a traditional classical oil painting, you can apply the canvas base again after the paint has dried a second time, and then use it when it is dry. Oil painting produces a vivid and bright effect, which is the ideal effect pursued by various classical and academic realist painters. The above is a rough approximate method for making an oil painting frame and canvas according to the Western standard.

The color is slightly darker, and the hemp content of such cloth is relatively high. If it is whiter, it is more cotton, and the toughness of such cloth is relatively poor, and it is easy to relax after being stretched for a long time. In addition, when looking at the light, the mesh should be denser.

Pure linen is better, now there are pure cotton or linen canvases with a good bottom in the painting material store, the bottom cloth is dense, the glue layer is uniform, you can also look at the price, a penny for the price.

Mainly according to your picture effect.

The canvas is divided into different styles, there are thicker textures, the texture of the picture is stronger, and the retro effect is better.

The fine texture is mainly used as decoration, the picture sense is relatively clear and thorough, and the clarity and gloss of the picture are better.

According to the different materials, the oil canvas is mainly divided into: chemical fiber oil canvas series, polyester cotton oil canvas series, pure cotton oil canvas series.

The surface should be relatively flat, free of bumps and burrs. Pure linen is tough and strong, and the sturdy cotton canvas seems to be good. Pure linen is more expensive, while blended fabrics are now available in many places and are cheaper, but they are relatively easy to deform.

The texture of linen is relatively hard, while cotton and blends are more soft.

As for the feel, it mainly depends on the thickness and texture of the canvas itself, of course, the surface of the canvas should be relatively flat. But the feel is still a more personal problem, some people like coarse cloth, some like fine cloth, some like a little harder, some like a little softer, so it feels good or not depending on the person.

Depending on what type of linen you use, it is best to use high-grade, do not use blended, coarse and fine lines according to your preferences to choose, remember that when painting linen, do not make the base too thick and thinner, it is best to brush the milky white glue and polish it to paint directly.

It depends on what type of oil painting you paint, the realistic one requires the cloth to be a little thinner, and the performance does not matter, it is best to choose linen, because linen does not like to deform, the elasticity is relatively small, and it is more resistant to decay. Try not to use chemical fibers

It's better to put it in linen for 1000 years and it's fine. The best thing about Sambi is pure rain dew hemp.

The difference between a good canvas and an ordinary canvas is mainly reflected in the difference in materials, and the final result of the difference in canvas is mainly reflected in the preservation of the work and the comfort and convenience of use.

1. Preservation of works: The main significance of a good oil canvas is to preserve oil paintings for a long time, pure linen is tough and strong, less affected by temperature and humidity, not easy to deform and deteriorate, and can be used to preserve works for a long time. Blended fabrics are now available on the market and are relatively cheap, but they are relatively easy to deform, making the work difficult to preserve.

2. Comfort and convenience of use: The pure linen cloth is relatively flat on the surface, which is more convenient when creating a picture, the texture of linen is relatively hard, and the cotton cloth and blended are more soft.

In the short term, there are no adverse effects, and it stands to reason that flax is better. Tight, thick and uniform, no knots and pores are conducive to preservation, of course, a little more expensive. But we bought a linen oil canvas once, and the response was not very good, and it was easy to collapse. Polyester is generally used.

The years are mostly desolate and hardworking, wanderer, you are not lonely, because there are you, me, and them.

A good canvas is finer than ordinary canvas, the material is thicker, the undercoating will be thicker, so that the surface of the canvas is smoother, and it can better reflect the beauty of the work.

From the appearance, composition, performance, and use of oil canvas, we will take you to learn more about the types and fields of use of oil canvas.

Oil canvases are generally divided into the following types:

Composition: 100% flax rain dew hemp.

Performance: high strength, stable size, tight and thick, heavy and heavy, stiff and powerful, not relaxed.

Uses: Design and processing according to the requirements of oil painting creation, preservation and collection, artistic creation and important works.

7) Others: Generally made of chemical fiber substrate, mainly used as light box cloth, advertising cloth, outdoor spray cloth, etc. Considering its durability, it is generally coated with cornice resin, gold and silver powder.
