Yes. Pigments are blended into an oil base to form an emulsion. The pigments are ground finely (with a range of particle sizes sought out deliberately), and the drying oil is formulated to "hold its shape" on the canvas, and to gradually escape the medium leaving the pigment behind.

Can you use mineral spirits to check to see if the paint is oil based or water based?
NO, that's messy. Take a small stick, scoop some paint into a paper cup and mix it with water, -if it mixes easily it's water based. If oil based it won't mix at all. If you're checking dry paint, put some denatured alcohol on a rag and rub the surface. If it comes off on your rag, it's water based. If all it does is clean the surface, then it's an oil.
