Horses Fight

This artwork represents a horses fight. It is created by David Berkowitz Chicago. Oil painting is a pictorial technique in which the colored matter is obtained from the mixture of the coloring pigment with the oil. This mixture serves to join the different pigments between them and these with the support (for example, the fabric). The most used oils are flax or walnut oil. Oil colors are colors obtained from oil-resinous solvents. Technical Drawing Oil Currently, oil colors are sold prefabricated in tubes, although they often tend, over time, to spoil because of an excessive amount of oil and wax that is added to prevent rapid drying. To achieve more transparent colors, and thus avoid certain dyes, such as white, green and blue, becoming opaque, it is usually added to the usual fatty oils, which produce a dense and viscous material, some dissolvable oils, also called Essential oils (one of the most used is the essence of turpentine). Once the painting is finished, it is usual to pass a layer of protective varnish, which can also be used to give more brightness to the color or it can be applied between the two layers of color to prevent the oil from the upper layer, when passing to the layer lower, dry and spoil. The final varnishes, when dried, form a transparent film.
