The advantage of using acrylic paint is that you can add textures and depth by applying layers of acrylic paint until you reach the look you desire. To create an effect similar to watercolors, you can dissolve the paint with a bit of water before applying it to your painting. This was hugely advantageous to artists as they weren’t stuck with the mistakes typical of using tempera as a medium in art.Īcrylic paints dry much faster than oil paints and are water-resistant once dry. Oil painting became a popular artistic medium due to its slow-drying properties as artists could easily change their paintings by adding more layers to the canvas. Oil paint is a slower drying artistic medium and is made from various pigments mixed with oil, such as linseed. Tempera was a popular medium in art until the arrival of oil paint, which then became the traditional artistic medium in Europe in the 15th century. Tempera is also called egg tempera, as it is usually made of pigments that have been bound to a water-soluble emulsion such as the yolk of an egg. Some examples of tempera paintings have been dated as far back as the 1st century AD, but most of the examples we have left today are from the 12th century until the 15th, after which oil paints became more popular. Tempera is a type of painting medium that has been used for many centuries due to its quick-drying ingredients and long-lasting pigments. Painting and sketching have been the most commonly applied mediums in art history, and the art mediums list for this section will cover what materials there are available to choose from. Out of all the artistic mediums, drawing techniques and painting styles have the most variation in terms of the different art mediums available to choose from.
