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 .
