A look at the colors in this Old Holland Classic Oil set will show you a quality pigment concentration, a lightfast medium, and products free from artificial driers or cheap fillers. The colors are all entirely lightfast with the exception of Cremnitz White and Madder Lakes, both of which are almost lightfast.
The pigments are mixed with cold pressed and pure linseed oil. With both the opaque and transparent paints, Old Holland offers outstanding pigment.
For instance, The Mona Lisa , Guernica , and The Starry Night are all oil paintings and are among some of the most famous and well-loved works of art in existence. A priming process, either done by the artist or the canvas manufacturer, typically precedes oil paintings on canvas. Artists find oil paints to create paintings of great detail and depth of color, as they can be mixed easily and extensively to great effect. Oil has three major drawbacks, however: it takes a very long time to dry days, weeks, even up to a year depending on circumstances , it takes a lengthy process of creation to correctly use, and it and the materials necessary to use it are potentially toxic and flammable.
Acrylic is essentially pigment trapped in a type of thermoplastic and water. Acrylic can also be used to create effect similar to both oil and watercolor, but can achieve a look all its own as well. Unlike oil, one does not need to prime a canvas to use acrylic though one certainly can , and acrylic dries rather rapidly.
However, the molecules in oil paint are capable of taking more pigment in, meaning they can produce a wider variety of colors. A primed canvas provides an ideal surface for acrylic, which can be applied with a brush or palette knife. Like acrylic, oil paint can be applied either with a brush or a palette knife; it can even be applied without either, by using oil pigment bars sort of like oil pastels.
Gouache is a unique type of paint that has characteristics of both acrylic and watercolor paint. It is composed of color pigment with a binding agent such as gum arabic, often with a solid white pigment such as chalk or sometimes even acrylic incorporated.
These two factors give gouache a much heavier texture and higher opacity than watercolor alone, but not quite the opacity of acrylic. Gouache can be applied to canvas, but it is best to apply a fairly thick layer, with minimal water added. While gouache can be used on smaller paintings or to create effects like the gouache resist technique, painting on canvas can use up gouache very quickly, and you may find that using acrylic paint is a better choice.
Like fluid acrylic, tempera paint is not extremely thick, so it can drip downward if applied to a canvas on an easel. Additionally, tempera paint is typically not permanent or archival, so while it is a great and inexpensive medium to explore painting with, it is not an ideal medium for painting on canvas in the long term.
Did you know that Picasso used house paint to create many of his masterpieces? The problem? House paint is not designed for painting on canvas, and its longevity can vary greatly. Where acrylic and oil paint are designed to last for years, the same cannot be said for house paint, which is designed to last for a few years, but not centuries.
Watercolor is a beautiful painting medium, but it is not well suited to painting on canvas.
