Question

How is oil paint made?

Answer 1

Oil paint is a type of slow-drying paint that consists of particles of pigment suspended in a drying oil, commonly linseed oil. the addition of a solvent such as turpentine or white spirit, and varnish may be added to increase the glossiness of the dried oil paint film. 

Answer 2

Oil paint is very thick, and it's kind of self-explanitory. Paint is made from a natural pigment. The pigment is mixed in with water, oil, or some other liquid to give it a liquid form. So it would make sense that oil paint is pigment mixed in with oil. I hope this helps!
