OIL PAINTS ARE MADE BY MIXING and grinding pigment with a drying vegetable oil such as linseed oil..The paint can be applied to many different surfaces and textures- the most important being canvas, before painting , the canvas is stretched on a wooden frame and its surface is prepared with of size(glue) and primer .The two main type of brushes used in oil painting stiff hog air bristle brushes -generally used to cover a large areas;and soft hair brushes made from sable or synthetic material -generally used for fine detail.Other tools ,including painting knives can also be used to achieve different effects.Oil paint can be applied thickly(a technique known as impasto)or can be thinned down using a solvent - such as turpentine or white spirit .Varnishes are some times applied to finished paintings to protect their surface or to give them a Matt or gloss finish.
WATERCOLOR PAINTING-WATER COLOR PAINT IS MADE OF GROUND PIGMENT mixed with water soluble binding medium, usually gum Arabic.It is usually applied to paper using soft hair brushes such as sable .goat hair or synthetic brushes.Water color are often diluted and applied as overlaying washes (,thin,transparent layers) to build up depth of colors Washes can be laid in variety of ways to create a range of different effects.For example , a wet-in- wet wash can be achieved by laying a wash on top of another wet wash.The two washes blend together to give a fused effect.Sponges are used to modify washes by soaking up paint so that areas of pigment are lightened or remove from the paper.Watercolors can also be applied undiluted - a technique known as dry brush- to create a broken-color effect .Watercolor are generally transparent and allows light to reflect. from the surface of the paper through the layers of the paint to give a luminous effect .They can be thickened and made opaque by adding body color(Chinese ) white.
