How to Use MARIES Oil Paints
-
Prime your surface (canvas, board, etc.) with gesso or oil-based primer.
-
Begin with thin layers, building up to thicker paint if needed—the “fat over lean” rule helps prevent cracking.
-
Mix your colors on a palette using linseed or safflower oil (or oil medium) to adjust flow and transparency.
-
Allow adequate drying time between layers, especially for thick impasto passages.
-
Finish with varnish once fully cured (weeks to months depending on thickness) to protect and unify the surface.
Storage & Care Tips
-
Seal tube caps tightly after each use to prevent skinning or drying of paint.
-
Store tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
-
Clean brushes immediately with solvent (e.g. turpentine, mineral spirit) followed by soap and water.
-
Use palette paper or a palette with a cleaned surface to avoid contamination of pigments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How long do MARIES oil paints take to dry?
Drying time depends on thickness and environment. Thin layers may feel dry in a few days, but full curing can take several weeks. Use proper ventilation and moderate temperature.
Q2: Are these oil paints safe for studio or home use?
Yes, though they are oil-based. Use in a well-ventilated space, avoid ingestion, and wash hands after use. Keep solvents stored safely.
Q3: Can I mix MARIES oil paints with other brands or mediums?
Yes, MARIES paints are compatible with standard oil painting mediums and other quality artist oil colors, provided you follow the “fat over lean” principle (i.e. heavier mediums on top of leaner layers).
Q4: Will the paint crack over time?
If the painting is made following proper layering techniques (lean layers first, then richer layers) and fully cured before varnishing, the risk of cracking is minimized. Thick or uneven paint applications may require extra care.
