Abstract oil painting - Bris

An oil painting is a work painted with oil paint, which consists of colour pigments mixed with a drying oil, usually linseed oil. It is most often painted on canvas, although wooden panels and other surfaces can also be used.

Oil paint dries slowly, giving the artist time to blend colours, create soft transitions and build up the image in layers. The surface can be smooth and finely detailed or have a pronounced texture with thicker layers of paint and visible brushstrokes.

Subjects range from landscapes and portraits to abstract forms. At Canvasbutik, our oil paintings are painted by hand on linen canvas and supplied stretched over a wooden frame, ready to hang.

They are hand-painted. Unlike a canvas print, the surface is created with paint and brushwork. Also read the description of the particular artwork you are considering.

Painting by hand produces natural variations. Colours, brushwork and texture may differ slightly, even for the same design and size. Screen settings and room lighting also affect how colours appear.

No. Some works have prominent layers of paint and visible brushwork; others have a smoother surface. Look at the product’s close-up images and ask us if you would like more information about a particular painting.

Our oil paintings are painted on linen canvas. The canvas is stretched over a wooden structure and secured at the back.

The stretcher frame is 38 mm deep, equivalent to 3.8 cm. This is the structure behind the canvas, rather than any optional decorative outer frame.

It means you are not adding a decorative outer frame. The stretcher frame supporting the canvas is still included, and the painting arrives stretched.

Where frame options are offered, you can select them on the product page. Suitable frames depend on the painting and size. Contact customer service if you are unsure.

Yes. It is supplied stretched with hanging hardware appropriate to its weight, such as wire or hooks. You will need wall fixings suited to your wall and the painting’s weight.

Measure the wall and nearby furniture. Use paper to try out the dimensions on the wall and check the product’s size guide. Consider both the viewing distance and the space around the artwork.

Check the panel dimensions and suggested arrangement. Lay the panels on the floor first, then mark the full composition on the wall. The gaps between panels affect the total width.

Yes. A shared colour, style or subject can tie a group together. Try out the arrangement before hanging and give each work enough space around it.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush, without pressing or rubbing the painted surface. Do not use water, cleaning products or solvents. Contact us about stains, damage or loose paint.

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, strong heat sources, damp conditions and splashes. A dry indoor space with stable conditions is preferable to a bathroom or a position right beside a cooker.

A standard oil painting is primarily decorative and should not be treated as a tested sound absorber. Choose an acoustic picture if sound absorption is a specific requirement.

Check the design, size, number of panels, any frame options and current delivery information on the product page. Please ask us if a particular detail is essential to your choice.
