Medium

 

Term used to refer to the actual physical material chosen as a vehicle of expression for any work of art. In painting it is used more specifically for the liquid in which the PIGMENT is suspended. By diluting the vehicle (the liquid binding agent in which the pigment particles are dispersed), the paint is made thinner and easier to apply.

See the Abbreviations for further details.
