WATERCOLOR• In watercolor, pigments are mixed
with water.• Basically a staining technique • Perfect for catching a quick
impressions outdoors.
John Singer Sargent. Rio de Santa Maria Formosa, Venice. 1905. Watercolor
FRESCO• True fresco or buon fresco, pigments
are suspended in water are applied to a damp lime-plaster surface. The vehicle is water, and the binder is the lime present in the damp plaster.
• The earliest true fresco paintings date from about 1800 BC in Turkey.
• The technique was also practiced by many Pre-Columbian cultures
• Diego Rivera- brought the revival of fresco painting.
• Colors reach the colors as the fresco ages. Colors reach their greatest intensity 50 to 100 yeas after a fresco is painted. Diego Rivera. Detroit Industry.
1932-33.
ENCAUSTIC • Encaustic pigments are suspended in
hot beeswax, resulting in a lustrous surfaces that bring out the full richness of colors.
• Technique known to ancient Greeks and flourished in Egypt
• Fayum (city in Egypt) portraits, such as Portrait of a Boy, were memorials to the deceased, painted directly on their wooden coffins.
• These are the earliest surviving encaustic works.
Portrait of a Boy. 100-150 B.C.
TEMPERA • Tempera was also known to the
Greeks and Romans• Was highly developed during the late
Middle Ages• Egg yolk is the binder, mixed in equal
parts with pigment powder and then thinned with water.
• Traditional egg tempera has a very luminous surface when dry.
Sandro Botticelli The Story of Nastagio degli Onesti (I). 1483.
OIL • In Western art, oil paint has been a
favorite medium for five centuries, • Pigments mixed with various
vegetable oils, such as linseed, walnut, and poppy seed, were used in the Middle Ages.
• Oil paint can provide both increased opacity and greater transparency than tempera.
• Slow drying time, allows artist to blend strokes of color and make changes during the painting process.
• Colors in oil change little when drying
Jan van Eyck. Madonna and Child with the Chancellor Rollin. 1433-34
ACRYLIC • An invention of the mid-twentieth
century. The binder that holds the pigment is acrylic polymer, a synthetic resin that provides a fast-drying, flexible film. The vehicle is water.
• Colors can maintain a high degree of intensity
• Unlike oils, acrylics rarely darken or yellow with age
• Their rapid drying time restricts blending and limits reworking Joan Mitchell. Untitled. 1987. Oil on Canvas.
AIRBRUSH• While traditional brushes are the most
common tool for applying paint, in recent years many painters have used airbrushes to apply acrylics, oil and other types of paint.
• A small-scale paint sprayer capable of projecting a fine, controlled mist of paint.
