Oil painting is the process of painting with oil paint, which is obtained by mixing pigments with oil as glue and bonding. The oil used in oil paint is produced from different materials and with different methods, the most common of which are linseed oil, poppy seed oil, walnut oil, and safflower oil.

The choice of the type of oil is made according to its wide range of properties, such as the amount of yellowing or drying time of the oil. Also, the specific differences between the oils can be seen in the brightness of the colors. An artist may use several different oils in a painting depending on the type of pigment and the desired effects of the oils.
