TRADITIONAL OIL PAINTING TECHNIQUES OFTEN BEGIN WITH THE ARTIST SKETCHING THE SUBJECT ONTO THE CANVAS WITH CHARCOAL OR THINNED PAINT. OIL PAINT IS USUALLY MIXED WITH LINSEED OIL, ARTIST GRADE MINERAL SPIRITS, OR OTHER SOLVENTS TO MAKE THE PAINT THINNER, FASTER OR SLOWER-DRYING.

ACRYLIC COLOUR ON CANVAS: IT IS A FAST-DRYING PAINT MADE OF PIGMENT SUSPENDED IN ACRYLIC POLYMER EMULSION. ACRYLIC COLOURS ARE WATER-SOLUBLE, BUT BECOME WATER-RESISTANT WHEN DRY. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH THE PAINT IS DILUTED WITH WATER, THEIR APPEARANCES RESEMBLE A WATERCOLOR, A GOUACHE OR AN OIL PAINTING, OR HAVE ITS OWN UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS NOT ACHIEVABLE WITH OTHER MEDIA. IT HAS LOW MAINTENANCE AND CAN BE FRAMED WITH OR WITHOUT GLASS OVER IT.
