 WHAT IS PAINTING?
Painting is the art of applying
pigments to a surface in order to
present a picture of the subject.

It is also defined as the process or art

of using paint, in a picture, as a
protective coating, or as decoration.
MEDIUMS OF PAINTING
• Oil • Tempera
• Fresco • Pastel
• Water Color • Acrylic
• Encaustic
OIL
Oil Painting is done
with the use of ground
pigments (from
minerals, coal tar,
vegetable matter, etc.)
mixed with linseed oil
and turpentine or
thinner.
 Why do many painters prefer oil
as a medium?
• Long lasting
• Slow in drying
• Easy to handle and manipulate
texturally
• Capable of being corrected
 Two ways oil is being applied
1. Direct method- in here, paints are opaque
and once they are applied in the surface, they
dry up and give the finished product its final
appearance
2. Indirect Method- in here, paints are
transparent and they are applied in many thin
layers or coatings, richness in opacity of light
and depth of shadow are some of its good
effects

 FRESCO
Fresco Painting is
done with the use
of earth pigments
mixed with water and applied to
fresh plaster or glue which attaches
the color to the surface like a wall.
A painting is described to be buon
fresco/ true fresco when the
plaster is wet but when the plaster
id dry, the painting is described as
fresco secco/ dry fresco.
 Advantages of Fresco
• Durability

Disadvantages of Fresco
• Exacting Medium
• Not movable
• Subject to loss if walls are destroyed

 WATER COLOR
Watercol
or painting is
done with the
use of
pigments
mixed with
water and
applied to fine
white paper.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A
WATERCOLOR PAINTING
 Besides white paper, cambric,
parchment, ivory, and silk can be
used as surface or ground.

The colors are applied in very

thin layers and all the light comes
from the ground, which gives it
brilliance.
 TEMPERA PAINTING
Done with the use
of ground pigments mixed
with an aluminous or
colloidal vehicle (egg
yolk, gum, glue, or
casein).

Tempera readily
dries with the evaporation
of water and this
characteristic is one of its
advantage.
 Another
advantage is its
effect on the wooden
panel, its ground or
surface-luminosity
of tone.

Its quick-
drying is a
disadvantage; it
allows little blending
or fusing of colors.
PASTEL PAINTING

Done with the

use of pastel colors
closely resembling
dry pigments bound
to form crayons,
which are directly
applied to the
surface, oftentimes
paper.
Another example of Pastel Painting
 ACRYLIC PAINTING
Done with the use of synthetic paints called
acrylics mixed with a vehicle capable of being thinned
with water.
Acrylic emulsion or
polymer serves as its binding
agent.
Acrylic paint possesses
the flexibility of oil and the
transparency and the fast-drying
ability of watercolor.
Moreover, it is soluble in
water, it can be applied in almost
all surfaces, and it has no
tendency to crack and to darken
or yellow with age
Another example of Acrylic Painting
 ENCAUSTIC PAINTING
Done with the
use of hot wax as a
vehicle to bind
pigments to a
wooden panel or a
wall.
It has the
advantage of
durability with its
colors remaining
vibrant and its surface
maintaining a hard
luster.
 But
encaustic is
not a popular
medium
among
painters
because it is
difficult to
manipulate.

 ANIMALS AND PLANTS
• During the ancient times, man’s primary concern
was survival. His first encounters were with animals

their interest in these living organisms,
it was inevitable for them to paint
these things they needed to survive.
The earliest painting discovered in
several caves in Europe were of
animals.

completing his work. These include the brush or brushes,

•

 The palette is the one that contains or holds the painting
medium.
 The palette knife is used to mix colors on the palette and
sometimes to add colors to and to scrape or remove colors
from the painting surface.
 The Easel is the frame that supports the painting; it usually
has three legs.

another one, “Olympia”, because of their
frankness. His subjects ranged from portraits and
landscapes to still life, horse races, and boating
scenes. His figures were related to suggest
momentary groups.
