Oil paints are common in art and have been used for centuries. Oil paintings probably began in northern Europe during the Renaissance in the 15th century. The work with oil paints is done in a layered method, with the paint drying between layers. Oil paint does not dry out quickly, thus making it possible to create interesting color transitions and ratings. A layer of oil paint will dry within a few days to a week. The oil paints are very concentrated paints, so in painting with oil paints, diluents, linseed oil and turpentine are used. These materials help the oil paints to glide easily on the canvas, blend into desired shades, control the level of transparency, clarity and opacity of the paint.

Oil paints are useful in art therapy and have therapeutic potential for the creator. Oil paints allow a feeling of release through rapid painting of large surfaces in long strokes. Due to a lack of skill in working with oil paints and its properties, such as the fluidity of the paint on the painting, there may be uncontrollable and other planned situations that evoke negative emotions such as loss of control and discomfort and positive emotions such as joy for new discoveries, curiosity and power. The variety of emotional expressions when working with oil paints improves flexibility and inclusion. When working with oil paints, there are repetitive actions, for example dipping the brush in turpentine and oil, taking paint from a palette and wiping with a cloth. For the creator, this sort of ritual is an anchor for finding an inner rhythm, as well as a framework that provides self-confidence, organization, order and setting boundaries, and thereby for deeper emotional work.
