Mediums s differ not only in their inherent qualities but also in the effects they produce. Luckily, painters have a variety of mediums  OIL Done with the use of ground pigments (from minerals, coal tar, vegetable matter, etc.) mixed with linseed oil and turpentine or thinner. Many painters prefer oil as a medium because oil paintings are long-lasting, slow in drying, easy to handle and manipulate texturally, and capable of being corrected. Oil paints are applied in either of two ways: the direct method, in which the paints are opaque and once they are applied on the surface, they dry up and give the finished product its final appearance and the indirect method, in which the paints are transparent and they are applied in many thin layers or coatings. Richness in the opacity of light and depth of shadow are some of its good effects.  OIL “Angelus” FERNANDO AMORSOLO "Countryside Scene" "Barrio Fiesta" "Tinikling Dance"  OIL VINCENTE MANANSALA "Fruit Vendor “Prayer Before Meals” with Twin Sons"  OIL TAM AUSTRIA LITO BALAGTAS “Philippine Madonna and Child” "Fisherman’s Family 2. FRESCO Fresco (Italian for fresh) painting is done with the use of earth pigments mixed with water and applied to fresh plaster or glue which attaches the color to the surface like a wall. The biggest advantage of fresco paintings is their durability. When the plaster is wet, the painting is described as buon fresco or true fresco. On the other hand, when the plaster is dry, the painting is described as fresco secco or dry fresco. DISADVANTAGES Quick to dry Not movable Subject to loss 2.

FRESCO Leonardo da Vinci experimented on his fresco painting, "The Last Supper” but his attempt was a failure in the sense that it was destroyed several times and was restored seven times. Buonarroti’s contemporaries, Raphael Sanzio, Masaccio, and Tintoretto also did frescoes. 3. WATER COLOR Done with the use of pigments mixed with water and applied to fine white paper. Besides white paper, cambric, parchment, ivory, and silk can be used as surface or ground. The colors are applied in very thin layers. A painter can also make use of opaque watercolor called gouache, produced by grinding opaque colors with water and combining them with a preparation of gum and adding Chinese white to transparent watercolors. 3.

Being an emulsion, tempera readily dries with the evaporation of water and this characteristic is one of its advantages. Another advantage is its effect on the wooden panel, its ground or surface - luminosity of tone. Its quick-drying is also a disadvantage; it allows little blending or fusing of colors. The use of tempera suffered a decline in the 1300s when oil 5. PASTEL Use of pastel colors closely resembling dry pigments bound to form crayons, which are directly applied to the Surface, oftentimes paper. A very recent and very flexible medium, pastel is not popular among artists because it is difficult to preserve a pastel painting due to the tendency of the chalk to rub off.. 6. ACRYLIC Done with the use of synthetic paints called acrylics mixed with a vehicle capable of being thinned with water. Acrylic emulsion or polymer serves as its binding agent. One of the most widely used mediums today due to its availability in the market, acrylic paint possesses the flexibility of oil and the transparency and the fast-drying ability of watercolor. Moreover, it is soluble in water, it can be applied on almost all surfaces, and it has no tendency to crack and to 7. Done with the use of hot wax as a vehicle to bind ENCAUSTIC pigments to a wooden panel or a wall. Although it has the advantage of durability with its colors remaining vibrant and its surface maintaining a hard luster, encaustic is not a popular medium among painters because it is difficult to manipulate. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans adorned their sculptures and walls with encaustic paintings (Marcos, 2006). Sub jec t s 1. PORTRAITURE Portraits are pictures of men and women singly or collectively. Before the camera was invented, there was no other means to know the face of a person, most especially a dead one, but through a portrait. Thus, paintings of men's face, if not their entire bodies, became a hit. Sad to say, it was the elite, particularly the kings and noblemen, who could afford the services of good painters. The poor ones did not have a  2. ANIMALS AND During the ancient times, man's primary concern was survival. In the PLANTS early stages of men's development, his first encounters were with animals and plants. Because of this constant contact with and their interest in these living organisms, it was inevitable for them to paint these things they needed to survive. In fact, the earliest paintings discovered in several caves in Europe were those of animals. Even now, a number of painters prefer animals and 3. STILL LIFE Painting of an inanimate object or a non-living thing placed on a table or another setting.. COUNTRY LIFE Local events such as a barrio fiesta, a fluvial parade, a bountiful rice harvest, a big catch of fishes, and a natural calamity are exciting painting subjects. Many realist and impressionist painters are fond of country life. FERNANDO AMORSOLO "Countryside Scene" "Barrio Fiesta" 5. LANDSCAPE Any of the land forms can be the subject of a landscape painting. These land forms include the volcano, the mountain, the hill, the valley, the plain, the plateau, the cliff, and the like. 6. SEASCAPE Any of the water forms can be the subject of a seascape painting. These water forms include the ocean, the sea, the river, the lake, the brook, the pond, the falls, and the like. 7. CITYSCAPE An aerial view of a city or a portion of it can be the subject of a cityscape painting.  8. EVENTS Events are among the favorite subjects of painters. The "Spoliarium and the "Blood Compact' of Juan Luna and the "Christian Virgins Exposed to the Populace" of Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo are examples of such subjects. "Moses Commanding the Red Sea to Divide" is another illustration.
