Mediums
According to Narsaria (2020), an artistic medium refers to the type of material used
to create(20a work of art, be it paintings, sculptures and everything in between. When
you visit art museums, you will likely encounter paintings with a small display card
stating the title of the painting, the artist’s name and the medium used to make that
painting or sculpture. The term ‘medium’ was first used specifically in the context of art

2. Watercolors
Watercolors are difficult to work around, as once the paint is on paper, there is very
little you can do to change it. However, once you master it, there are several
advantages. Watercolors are comparatively inexpensive. One tube of color goes a
long way, since the paint is mixed with a lot of water to create its signature effect.
Watercolor paintings are generally translucent, meaning that you can see the texture
of the paper that lies beneath. Watercolor allows light to bounce off the paper and give
the color its effect rather than bouncing off the paint. This gives such paintings a
mesmerizing clarity. Watercolors are generally used to paint landscapes, abstract
pieces or other subtle subjects that don’t require too much precision. Some watercolor
techniques include wet on wet, color lifting and flat washes.
3. Acrylic Paint
This is the newest medium used in art and was only developed in 1940. Compared
to watercolors and oil paints, acrylics have a lot of advantages. It dries very fast, unlike
oil paints. It is also very versatile and durable. Additionally, it creates less mess and
can simply be scraped off if you spill it on the floor; it can be peeled off the hand like
glue! Pop artists like Andy Warhol used this medium, even in his legendary creation
of the ‘Campbell Soup Can’.

If you’ve seen Titanic, then you know what scene that quote comes from. Jack
used graphite pencils to sketch Rose in that legendary blockbuster. These pencils are
similar to normal pencils, but they come in different intensity levels. The ‘h’s are the
lightest, whereas the pencils marked ‘b’s like 4b or 6b are the darkest. Graphite pencils
are also used by children, as they are the easiest type of pencil and less messy to use
than paints. Mastery of this medium requires sketching, shading and blending.
5. Charcoal
Similar to graphite pencils are charcoals. Charcoal is darker in shade, cannot be
erased easily, and requires more hand control. Charcoal comes in two types—soft
charcoal for blending and hard charcoal for sketching. Charcoal is used for drawing
figures and quick sketches.
6. Pastels
Pastels come in two forms—oil pastels, which are generally used by children for
coloring, and chalk pastels, which are similar to charcoal, but they come in all colors.
Pastels are ideal for blending and layering. The tip, cut and side can all be used to
create various textures.
As we all know, beauty comes in all sizes, and since art is a form of beauty, it
is no wonder that it comes in various mediums. There is no perfect medium for a
particular type of painting, it depends on what an artist is comfortable with, what you
like, your budget and availability. And most importantly, don’t forget that the beauty of
art lies in the eyes of the beholder! [8]
