Many parents look forward to their children becoming artists when they grow up, but the road to becoming an artist is long. In many cases, parents need to accompany their children to learn and study together, otherwise the children may also be unable to develop their interests. For parents who enroll their children in art classes, it is best to have some experience in art crafts, such as understanding the difference between banana water and toner oil. Then, do you know what the differences are between them?

What is banana water? What is toner oil? What are their main uses? How do beginners use them? This question is believed to be something that every watercolor painting student wants to master.

Banana solvent is a resin secreted by conifers, which contains plant oils. Pure natural resinous oil (resin banana solvent) shows faint yellow translucent particles, and its distillate is banana solvent, which is a colorless volatile liquid. It has a special smell, and a little bit pungent. Banana solvent is widely used as a chemical raw material, and it is possible to come into contact with banana solvent in industries such as artistic glass, paint production, mothball production, pharmaceutical industry, and rosin production. In the process of artistic watercolor painting, banana solvent has the function of diluting oil paint.

Tone oil is the medium oil used for painting oil paintings, mainly used for diluting oil paints. In the process of artistic painting, it can improve the smoothness of color, also has the effect of controlling the drying speed of color, and can also use its fluidity to achieve the desired artistic effect. There are general drying speed tone oils, as well as quick-drying oils with fast drying speed. If you want the color to dry slowly, there are linseed oil, etc., which can be used according to different expression techniques.

What is the difference between banana solvent and tone oil?

The difference between banana solvent and tone oil is: when adjusting the paint paste with banana solvent, it absorbs oil, and the surface is matte. Banana solvent evaporates relatively quickly, and the oil paint mixed with banana solvent will soften quickly, so it is generally used for sketching. Tone oil is used for the deep layer, and attention should be paid not to add too much tone oil, as too much tone oil will cause the oil painting to reflect light after drying. Adding too much may also make the surface turn yellow. Generally, banana solvent is used first, followed by tone oil, and the surface should be dried in between. Beginners in watercolor painting learning oil painting need to grasp the drawing process of watercolor painting, and it is recommended that everyone try a little by little. Whether it is banana solvent or tone oil, do not add too much at one time, as too much will make the surface very gray after drying. Therefore, I summarize the process of painting oil painting, simply sorting out is to use banana solvent first, then tone oil, starting with more remaining oil, and then less remaining oil, so that the final effect is the best.

Let’s discuss banana solvent first. This kind of raw material is generally favored by Chinese artists, and its characteristic is that it is very easy to evaporate, and it does not have luster after drying. If there is a need for a matte effect in artistic painting, then banana solvent can be used for painting all the way. Tone oil is a common oil in the process of artistic painting, which evaporates relatively slowly, and usually needs one or two days to dry. If you want to dry it, it may take a week or more. However, after the oil dries, the color is not easy to change significantly, and the surface gives a very bright feeling. After the tone oil dries, there will be residues, which are more difficult to control compared to banana solvent.

In general, the difference between banana solvent and tone oil is that banana solvent is easy to evaporate, and after drying, it becomes dull without luster, while tone oil evaporates slowly, and after drying, it has a bright and glossy feeling.
