Acrylic
Acrylic paint combines pigment with a fast-drying acrylic binder. It can produce effects ranging from thin, transparent washes to thick, textured layers. The Morning After the Snowstorm, Ray Hassard
Charcoal
Charcoal is a drawing medium made from carbonized wood. Its deep blacks can be blended, layered, or erased to create expressive lines, dramatic contrast, and soft tonal shading. The Cider Jug, Léon-Augustin Lhermitte
Collage
Collage is created by arranging and attaching materials such as paper, photographs, fabric, or found objects to a surface. Artists may cut, tear, layer, and overlap these elements to create texture, imagery, and meaning. The technique can transform ordinary materials into an entirely new and unified composition. Difficult, Kurt Schwitters Flashe is a vinyl-based paint known for its rich, opaque color and smooth, ultra-matte finish. It dries quickly and can be applied to many surfaces, producing flat, even areas of color with little or no reflection. Stork, Brian Scott Campbell Gouache combines pigment with a water-soluble binder but contains more pigment than watercolor. It produces opaque color and a smooth, matte finish. Day in Midwinter, Charles Burchfield
Flashe on linen
Gouache on linen
Pastels are made from powdered pigment combined with a small amount of binder and formed into sticks or pencils. They produce rich color, soft blending, expressive marks, and a distinctive velvety texture. Dancer reading, Edgar Degas
Pastel
Photography is the art of creating images by capturing light with a camera. Artists use composition, lighting, perspective, timing, and digital or traditional processes to interpret and communicate what they see. The Tetons and Snake River, Ansel Adams Watercolor paint combines pigment with a water-soluble binder, usually gum arabic. Its transparent washes allow light to reflect through the paper, creating luminous color and delicate layers. Snowdon through Clearing Clouds, Alfred William Hunt
