Paint is a liquid mixture of pigment and a binding agent such as oil or water. A painting is created on a two-dimensional surface (ground); a wall painting or fresco is also considered to be a painting. Oil, acrylic, and watercolor are some of the most common types of paint used today. Before oil became the predominant paint of choice by European painters around the turn of the 16th century, tempera was the reigning medium. Tempera is an extremely colorfast paint, evidenced by the many centuries-old, yet still vibrant, tempera paintings which survive today. It's created by mixing powdered pigment with a binder such as egg yolk (the most common), glue, honey, water, milk or a plant gum. As tempera is quick to dry, it is usually applied in thin layers until the desired color saturation is acheived. In contrast, oil paint dries very slowly, so artists are able to apply the paint in thick layers as well as easily blend colors together.
The oils used for painting are derived from linseed, walnut and poppy. Watercolor can be created by mixing pigment with water, and is usually applied to paper. Before the 19th century, watercolor was used primarily for sketches, but with artists such as J.M.W. Turner, it slowly grew to be respected as a medium. Acrylic paint, which was invented in the 20th century, is synthetic and water-soluble, and when it dries looks very similar to oil paint. Acrylic paint is perhaps the most popular type of paint with modern and contemporary artists. In order to create a painting, an artist will apply paint with a brush, or other tool such as a palette knife, to a surface such as a canvas, wood panel, paper, wall, glass, copper, or concrete.
