2. Oil print process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_Print_Process

   The oil print process is a photographic printmaking process that dates to the mid-19th century. Oil prints are made on paper on which a thick gelatin layer has been sensitized to light using dichromate salts. After the paper is exposed to light through a negative, the gelatin emulsion is treated in such a way that highly exposed areas take up ...

   Thus, oil paint is said to be "oil-based", whereas acrylic paint is "water-based" (or sometimes "water-borne"). Example of blending technique with acrylics. Painting on wooden panel.
