vehicle

The ________ and binder: plant oils; most common linseed oil extracted from the seeds of the flax plant (oiticica oil, safflower oil, poppy- seed oil, perilla oil, tung oil)

Water colors

________: made from very finely ground pigments suspended in water, usually with gum Arabic serving as a binder.

Tempera

________: a permanent, fast- drying painting medium consisting of colored pigments mixed with a binder medium, usually glutinous material such as egg yolk, or any other oil medium.

Egg tempera

________ was a primary method of painting until after 1500 when it was superseded by the invention of oil painting.

Oil paints

The vehicle and binder of oil paint

plant oils; most common linseed oil extracted from the seeds of the flax plant (oiticica oil, safflower oil, poppy-seed oil, perilla oil, tung oil)

Acrylic Paint binder

polymerized material, ground up and suspended in water (water emulsion), process introduced in 1956

Acrylic paint

a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion and plasticizers, silicon oils, defoamers, stabilizers

Tempera

a permanent, fast-drying painting medium consisting of colored pigments mixed with a binder medium, usually glutinous material such as egg yolk, or any other oil medium

Tempera paints

oil-based paints which can be diluted with water and which form an insoluble film on drying

Emulsions

stable mixtures of two immiscible liquids distributed uniformly in each other

Emulsifier

usually a long molecule that is partially ionic at one end, so called head (so this end dissolves well in water) and molecular with only covalent bonds in the rest of the molecule (so this part dissolves well in oil)

Water colors

made from very finely ground pigments suspended in water, usually with gum Arabic serving as a binder

Gouache paints

opaque water colors

The proportion of pigments to paint vehicle is much greater (sometimes up to 50% of the paint is the pigment
