I say some about oil paintings like death or, at least, will be condemned to death shortly. After the example of America, Europe, is increasingly directed, it is a fact found, for synthetic products. Undoubtedly, they agree not only to contemporary expression, but also very classical. They do not slut still fit at anything. That is why we believe that the oil painting technique will keep its followers, as long as chemistry, it will not be found replacements that have its very specular resources, but not its defects. The fashion of different materials is definitely dependent on the technique, but especially by the aesthetic trends of the moment. Is it therefore difficult to predict the future: which will be the trends of those who will use these materials?
From now on , possibilities are made, even if the applications that are interested in the industry are still difficult to achieve by the painter. We quote, among the most spectacular, some colors that remain fluids for undefined time, so likely to be subjected to a prolonged models and can be strengthened in a few seconds under a certain atomic irradiation. Matter becomes extraordinarily solid , but obviously it will be easier to take security measures in the case of a car paths for cars than for a seplet painting. On the contrary, it could be interesting to see what preferences are currently directed. R a large number of artists need to be questioned to get a valid "survey". IR be simpler as manufacturers to say what is most demanded, but they have celebrated each of them sells especially the products for which one has the best reputation, the information of one would contradict another. The safest method was to question the retailers who have all brands in the store and are directly related to artists.
It is known, in a. Without taking so far inquiry, I appealed to the courtesy of two familiar houses known worldwide. One bow a clientele among the most famous painters, traditionalist orientation, the other would be focused on "avant-garde". It is known that this discrimination is not absolute, but surely all trends converge towards them two. Thus, the information you have received and for whom we thank you warmly, gives the reader a response that would change quite a long time. Four fifths of traditionalist painters use color in oil. Among them, some are ejecting emulsion.
The other fifth of traditionalistic painters focused on the new colors, but one third of them, denying the usual ease of models or the desired optical qualities, returned to the oil. However, there are reasons to believe that, in consecant, the dissatisfied will undertake other investigations and will, in turn, become the beneficiaries of the new discoveries. In the young people, only two tenths work in oil. The others work with vinyl, acrylic products, and looking for new effects, use colors in the cylinder, etc. Finally, a tendency, more and more powerful, must be noted; Subjectories prepared with oil are preferred semi-absorbents, emulsions, type "flashe", for example. We will see that although there are some clientele differences, Edouard Adam reaches conclusions very close to a. GattegoNo's statistics. He willing to draw up this study very documented, and emphasized, at our request, giving precise examples, on new techniques that seem to remain revolutionary, and others insufficiently checked over time.
Far from sharing this skepticism, we keep discussed here. Even if, today, they may seem to have the framework of our subject, namely the "painting", the existence of new trends must be reported to complete this work because some of these techniques, with the necessary improvements, prepares the future, the future. However, Edouard Adam is interested in this activity with passion and aims at developing in a strong collaboration with those who practice it.
