PAINTING MEDIA
●In painting, media refers to both the
type of paint used and the base or
ground to which it is applied. A
paint’s medium refers to what carries
a paint’s pigments, and us also called
a “vehicle” or a “base”. A painter can
mix a medium with solvent,
pigments, and other substances in
order to make paint and control
consistency. Here are some examples
of common paint media:

BASIC COLOR THEORY
> Color theories create a
logical structure for color.
For example, if we have an
assortment of fruits and
vegetables,
we can organize them by
color and place them on a
circle that shows the color in
relation to each other.
