What is oil on canvas?
Oil paint is a slow-drying type of paint made from pigment particles suspended in a drying oil, typically linseed oil. The viscosity of the paint can be adjusted by adding a solvent like turpentine, and varnish can be added to increase the glossiness of the dried paint film. Oil painting has been used since the 12th century in Europe, initially for decoration, but it was not widely adopted as a primary painting medium until the 15th century.

The Aesthetic Movement emerged in the late 19th century, emphasizing the beauty and sensual qualities of art over practical or moral considerations. It promoted the idea of creating art for its own sake, valuing beauty and aesthetic experience as ends in themselves. The movement was particularly influential in Britain.
A sculpture is a three-dimension object made using any one of the basic sculpting processes. These include carving, casting, constructing or modeling. Carving materials may be bone, ivory, stone or wood. Modeling and casting use clay or wax, while constructions glue materials together.
