• Painting Materials


  • Pigments
  • Binder
  • Solvent
• Pigments


  The colored part of the paint, sourced from organic (plants)or inorganic (rocks and metallic oxides) materials, can be natural (from vegetables, insects, minerals or clay) or synthetic (made from chemicals like distilling coal tars and residues of petroleum).
• Binder


  The material that holds together the grains of pigment and allows it to stick to the painting surface, examples include egg yolks, linseed oil, wax

  
  

  Media that need binders are chalk, pastel, graphite and ink. Media that sometimes does not need a binder is charcoal.

• Solvent


  The liquid that controls the thickness or thinness of the paint (viscosity), also used to clean paint brushes and tools
• Different Kinds of Paints

  • Oil-based Paints
  • Water-Soluble Paints
• Oil paint

  Creamy, dries slowly through a chemical reaction (curing), can be purchased in tubes, best quality/ artist's quality has more pigment and longer time to dry , student quality has less expensive pigments and more extenders where the proportion of oil is higher that pigment. The extenders added affect the brilliance of the paint.
• Water-soluble paints

  Water color is the most popular of all water-based paint media. The watercolor’s name is based on its solvent which is water. The binder for water color is gum Arabic because of the latter’s limited supply. The water used in watercolor painting should be clean and chemically inert. Water from pure springs and rain water is best for painting. When the artist is not sure of the water, using distilled water is also fine. Tap water will do for everyday watercolor painting but the water should be changed frequently during the course painting.
