Combining Mixed Media with Oil Painting
Oil paintings are not often integrated as mixed media with other art forms because there are not many art mediums that are chemically compatible with oil paints. However, there are many ways to create unique oil paintings by using different materials not of conventional oil painting. In this article I will show you how to do just that from my own painting experiences.

A Paintbrush is of course the most common tool in the application of oil colour. Often times, because I paint mostly with brushes, I tend to forget that there are other ways to apply paint to a surface. This article touches on a few very popular ways to apply paint other than the same ol' paintbrush.

Adding REAL Depth to Reinforce the Illusion of Depth
The traditional process of oil painting in itself tends to create the illusion of depth through layering. Even further, oil colour can be manipulated to create an illusion of depth through the play between light, color and shadow. It is more of a radical approach that I am referring to in this article that creates more dimension in oil painting by adding <b>real</b> depth to enhance the illusion of depth.
