How come oil paint? Can it be water-based as well?

[Awesome Crafts]

Oil paint is not necessary, water-based can also be used. But the beauty of oil paints is that they protect the painting from moisture. Secondly, water based paints again make the painting slightly wet but its not a big deal put it again in sunshine and after some hours it will dry up.
