Key Features
1. Slow Drying: Takes days to weeks to dry, allowing reworking and blending.
2. Texture Range: Can be applied thickly (Impasto) for 3D effects or thinly (Glazing) for translucent layers.
3. Color Stability: Resists fading and yellowing over time.
4. Mixable Mediums: Compatible with turpentine, linseed oil, or varnishes to adjust consistency/drying time.

Common Uses:
- Realistic portraits, still life, and landscapes
- Classical techniques (e.g., Rembrandt’s glazes) or modern impasto (e.g., Van Gogh)

Surfaces:
- Primed canvas (linen/cotton)
- Wood panels (sealed with gesso)

Note:
- Use in ventilated spaces due to solvent fumes.
- Apply final varnish to protect against oxidation.
