VISUAL- ARTS-ACRYLICS AND PASTELS

ACRYLICS   PAINT   IS  MADE  BY  MIXING  PIGMENTS with  a   synthetic   resin  .It  can  be  thinned  with  water    but  dries   to  become  water  insoluble.Acrylics   are  applied  to  many  surfaces  ,such  as  paper  and  acrylic -primed  board   and  canvas.A  variety  of  brushes ,painting knives  , rollers,air  brushes,plastic scrapers  are  used  in   Acrylic  painting.The  versatility   of  Acrylics  make  them   suitable   for  a  wide   ran  of  techniques   .They  can   be   used   opaquely  or  by  adding  water-  in  a  transparent ,watercolor  style.Acrylic  mediums  can    be  added to  the  paint  to   adjust  its  consistency  for  special  effects     such a 
small glazing  and  impasto  (ridges  of  paint  applied  in  thick  strokes) or  to  make  it  more  matt or  glossy.Acrylics  are   quick  -drying ,  which  allow  layers     of  paint   to  be  applied  on  top  of   each other  almost  immediately.

 PASTELS- PASTELS   ARE   STICKS   OF  PIGMENT   made  by  making   ground  pigment   with chalk   and  a  binding  medium  such   as  gum   Arabic.They  vary    in  hardness    depending   on   the  proportion   of  the  binding  medium  to  the  chalk.Soft  pastel-  the  most  common   form   of   pastel  -contain  just  enough   binding   medium   to  hold  the  pigment  in  stick  form.Pastel   can  be  applied  directly  to  any  support   (surface) with  sufficient   tooth (texture). When  a   pastel   is  drawn   over  a   textured   surface ,  the  pigment  crumbles  and  lodges   in  the fibers  of  the  support .Pastel  marks  have  a  particular  soft,  Matt quality  and  are  suitable  for   techniques   such  as   blending, scumbling,,  and  feathering .Blending   is  a  technique   of  rubbing and   fusing  two  or  more  colors  on  the  support  using  fingers or  various  tools  such  as  soft hair  brushes ,putty  eraser, and  soft  bread.Scum bling  ,is  a technique   of  building  up  layers of  pastel  colors.The  side    or  blunted  tip  of  a   soft  pastel  is  lightly  drawn   over  an  under painted  area   so  that   patches  of  the  color beneath  show  through Feathering   is  a  technique   of  applying    parallel   strokes  of  color   with  the  point  of  pastel.,usually over  an   existing   layer   of pastel  color.A  thin  spray  of    fixative  can  be  applied   using  a  mouth  diff user,  or  in   between   layers   of   color   to  prevent  smudging .
