The Whats and Hows of Painting Mediums

A lot of people confuse the terms “art mediums” and “painting mediums”, but they’re not the same. Art mediums are the tools we use to create art. This includes clay, oil, pastel, watercolour, pen, pencil etc. Painting mediums, on the other hand, are something we mix into the paint to change its consistency, flow, texture, drying time and sheen. Doing this makes the paint much more versatile and adds more visual interest.
