Lean Definition
The word lean in the context of oil painting refers to paint having low oil content and more pigment. Paint is thinned using solvents like turpentine. Lean paints dry faster than fat (with more oil) paints. Fat over lean is a technique in oil painting where fat paint is applied over lean to avoid cracks.
