Mediums of Painting (7)

Oil painting

• Done with the use of ground pigments (from minerals, coal tar, vegetable matter, etc.) mixed with linseed oil and turpentine or thinner.

• Many painters prefer this a medium because these are long-lasting, slow in drying, easy to handle and manipulate texturally, and capable of being corrected.

Fresco

Italian for fresh

Fresco Painting

Done with the use of earth pigments mixed with water and applied to fresh plaster or glue which attaches the color to the surface like a wall.

Watercolor Painting

A type of painting that uses water-soluble paints to create images. These are made from pigments that have been ground into a fine powder and mixed with gum Arabic, a natural substance that helps the paint bind to the paper.

Tempera painting

• Done with the use of ground pigments mixed with an albuminous or colloidal vehicle (egg yolk, gum, glue, or casein).

• Being an emulsion, it dries with the evaporation of water and this characteristic is one of its advantages.

Pastel Painting

• Done with the use of pastel colors closely resembling dry pigments bound to form crayons, which are directly applied to the Surface, oftentimes paper.

• A very recent and very flexible medium, it is popular among artists because it is difficult to preserve a pastel painting due to the tendency of the chalk to rub off.

Acrylic Painting

• Done with the use of synthetic paints called acrylics mixed with a vehicle capable of being thinned with water.

• Acrylic emulsion or polymer serves as its binding agent.

Encaustic painting

• Done with the use of hot wax as a vehicle to bind pigments to a wooden panel or a wall.

• Although it has the advantage of durability with its colors remaining vibrant and its surface maintaining a hard luster, it is not a popular medium among painters because it is difficult to manipulate.
