PAINTING
Painting
•refers to the process of
applying color on flat

Any flat surfaces can be the
medium in which paint can be
applied. Moreover, there are
different types of paints an artist can
use.

difficult to use because
the paint changes form as
it dries.
 Acrylic

because they're thicker than
watercolor paints.

• Because they are thick, they

are easy to blend with other
colors and easy to control
when painting them on a
canvas.

paints and easiest to control.
• They take days to dry so
you can work with the paint
for hours to get the images
you want.

and more materials are
needed to work with them.
