the process of applying pigment on a smooth surface– paper, cloth, canvas, wood, or plaster– to secure an interesting arrangement of forms, lines, and colors.
Painting
Forms of Painting
Mosaic art, stained glass, tapestry, drawing, printmaking, photography.
the application of a mixture of beeswax, resin, and ground pigment to any porous surface, followed by the application of heat to set the colors and bind them to the ground. When the surface cools, it is polished with a cloth. This gives the was a soft luster that heightens its translucent qualities.
Encaustic
earth or mineral pigments mixed with egg yolk and egg white. Since the paint dries quickly, corrections are difficult to make. Thus, the artist using this medium must plan his design well.
Tempera
is the application of earth pigments mixed with water on a plaster wall while the plaster is damp. Color then sinks into the surface and becomes an integral part of the wall. The image becomes permanently fixed and lasts as long as the wall exist.
Fresco
a tempered paint made of pure ground pigment bound with gum arabic. Painters apply this in thin, almost transparent films. The surface of the paper then shows through, giving a delicate luminous texture to the painting.
Watercolor
pigment ground is applied to primed canvas. Since the paint is rather thick, it has to be thinned with other solvent before it is applied on canvas.
Oil
synthetic paints using polymer emulsions as binder are the newest mediums and the ones that are widely used by today’s painters.
Acrylic
Acrylic have many advantages:
They combine the transparency and quick drying characteristics of watercolor and the flexibility of oil;
They are completely insoluble when dry;
They can be used in almost any surface.
They can be applied thinly with a water-dipped brush or lain on in thick impastos with a knife.
