Contemporary San Art: "Birds Eating Worms" By Artist Jan Tcega, Oil Canvas, 71.5 x 41.5 cm
Oil Painting
Oil paints, with oil as a binding medium have been widely used by artists since the fifteenth century. The Kuru artists have adopted this tradition and they are well known for their brightly colored oil paintings on stretched canvas.
Most of the artists love to sit flat on the floor while working on the paintings laying either flat before them or positioned against a wall. In winter they love to take their paintings outside and work in the warm winter sunshine.
Although most artists start directly with the paintbrush on the canvas, some artists make preliminary drawings with pencil on the canvas before starting to apply the paint.
When a painting is sold and need to be transported abroad it is best to take it off the stretch frame and send it rolled on a tube. The customer will then have to restretch it.
