One of the most important things Jan did was being able to perfect the art of oil painting by adding dimension to his painting and elevating the paint above the canvas he added a 3 dimensional aspect to his paintings.Another way he was able to perfect the art of oil painting was by using the paint and applying it in transparent layers. That new strategy gave the paint a more vibrant look and was also able to give the paintings more detail.

This was very different for that time period because no one had ever done anything like that before (London).
