Painting Paint is composed of three materials: Pigment Binder Solvent PBS
Painting Pigment: natural or synthetic colored materials finely ground into a granular powder. gemstones, clay, minerals, plants, insects
Painting Binder: holds the pigment together and adheres the paint to a surface. Egg yolks, plastic, wax
Painting Solvent: added to thin or thicken paint, slow or speed up its drying time. Water or oil based (turpentine, thinners)
Painting Paint can be applied with a variety of tools: brushes, fingers, painting knives, sticks onto a palette. Usually applied to a canvas board or paper.
Painting Types of paint: Tempera Oil Watercolor Gouache Acrylic Encaustic Casein
TEMPERA Painting Tempera: water based, egg binder, used prior to 1400’s, colors cannot be mixed, narrow range, fast-drying
WATERCOLORPainting Watercolor: most common water-based paint, transparent. White paint is seldom used to lighten paint (water is used ) Light colors are applied first, then dark, working from background to foreground.
ACRYLIC Painting Acrylic: synthetic paint with plastic binder recent (20th century), versatile, similar to oil but dries faster, not as shiny
OIL Painting Oil: easily mixed, more permanent, used after 1400 by most famous artists, slow-drying, can be used in thin layers called glazes or in thick lumps to make an impasto surface. Toxic.
GOACHE Painting Gouache: water-based opaque paint, it has more body and dries more slowly than watercolor. Similar to tempera.
ENCAUSTIC Painting Encaustic: Ancient Greek process of mixing pigments with wax, and then ironing/heating the mixture to a surface.
CASEIN Painting Casein: uses milk protein as a binder, glue-like consistency
FRESCO Painting Fresco: mixing pigments with plaster (walls, ceilings) Buon“true” Fresco: paint is bound in the wet plaster Fresco secco: paint is applied to dry plaster.
