4 oil painting

Если о ком-либо говорят, что он is no oil painting (не картина, написанная маслом), то имеют в виду, что человек некрасив или просто уродлив. Это устоявшееся выражение (a fixed expression), т. е. фразеологизм, и оно не может быть изменено, нельзя, например, сказать not an oil painting или not a painting in oils.
She's started seeing a guy who is no oil painting, but he's kind and considerate. — Она стала встречаться с парнем, который совсем некрасив, но добрый и внимательный.
