Artists use different mediums to create their art. While some may like to use water colours, others may prefer to use oil paints. There are four common paint media: acrylics, oils, tempera and water colours. There are some others that are not well known but yet, favoured by a few. Fineliners are often used bring out the intricate detail of a drawing. However, if it is to bring out depth and the richness of the canvas, artists might prefer charcoal. If an opaque effect is what one desires then gouache might be a choice. Here, a natural pigment, water and a binding agent are used. While pastels can be pleasing to the eye, encaustic is an ancient painting media. Spray painting is also in vogue especially for those who want the job done fast.
