Art TechniquesFat over lean
Paint which has a high percentage of oil is described as âfat.â âLeanâ paint is that which has been thinned with turpentine or mineral spirit only. The golden rule in oil painting is to paint fat over lean, and there are good reasons for this. The drying oils used both in the manufacture of paint and as a medium do not evaporate. They simply dry and harden on exposure to air, but this takes a long time (six months to a year to become completely dry). During this process the paint surface shrinks a little. If lean paint has been applied over oily paint the top layer will dry before the lower one has finished shrinking, and this can cause the hardened lean paint to crack and even flake off.
So, for any painting built up in layers the oil content should progressively increase. The usual practice is to begin with turpentine alone, or turpentine with just a little oil added, and add more oil to the mixture as the painting progresses. The final layer can be as thick as you like, and this is when artists sometimes add highlights in impasto (see page 88).
Alla prima
This is an Italian term meaning âat first,â and it describes paintings completed in one session. The essential characteristic of this method is that there is no initial underpainting as such (see page 112), although artists will often make a rapid underdrawing in pencil or charcoal to establish the main lines.
After the introduction of tubed paint in the mid-19th century, artists were able to work outdoors more easily. This plein air (open air) painting, as it is called, first undertaken by painters such as Constable, Corot and later the Impressionists, established the rapid and direct approach as an acceptable technique. Hitherto, oil painting had been largely a studio activity, as pigment had to be ground by hand, and paintings were built up slowly in a series of layers.
Working alla prima requires some confidence, as each patch of color is laid down more or less as it will appear in the finished picture. Any modifications and reworking must be kept to a minimum so that the fresh effect is not destroyed.
