A light oil consists of a transparent application of color on a sepia toned fiber based print. This style of oil painting is best requested when a delicate or soft look is desired. It is often used to duplicate the tinted images prior to color photography and is suitable for babies, baby panels, or when an almost watercolor effect is desired. The oil is applied with lambs wool or polyester and does not have any brush strokes.

Deluxe Oils are an economical alternative to the Masterpiece Oil. The same artist quality workmanship is used to apply opaque and transparent oil to a fibre based print mounted to either a 3x process board or 3/16" Gatorboard. Deluxe oils share the same painterly characteristics as a Masterpiece Oil but without the canvas texture. They may be painted smoother and more photographic should the client choose this look. Often this is the best choice for paintings that will be displayed in public forums.
