Oil, mostly. He painted on wood and canvas.
If you ask about paintings ALWAYS name the artist!!! If it's the one by Norman Rockwell it is oil paint on canvas.
It is an artwork (picture, painting, etc.) on which more than one medium (oils, acrylic, watercolour, poster paint, chalk, etc.) has been used.
The right medium will complement the artist's subject and improve the overall quality of the artwork; the wrong medium can detract from it.
The medium I used was.
A painting medium is the type of material which the artists uses to create the painting. Some painting mediums are oil, acrylic, and watercolor.
Gwendolyn Knight was primarily a visual artist who worked in mediums such as painting and drawing. She was known for her figurative artwork that often depicted scenes from everyday life.
A painters undercoat or primer in the world of art is GESSO. Actually, this is not a synonym it is a medium used as an undercoat. A synonym is underpainting (informal), chromogen. coat, coat of paint, color filter, color gelatin, colorant, dead-color, primer, opaque color, tinction, wash coat, flat wash, and more. In the world or art, this makes a painting more complex and rich. Look up what Norman Rockwell did for his undercoats. Think Jackson Pollack when you think how Rockwell did it. Gesso is used for many things...as a primer, it prepares paper for the application of acrylic or oils over it. Norman Rockwell did it to add the richness that his paintings then became, like so many artists have done. Also, look up texture gradient painting with ink. You drop little tiny drops of different shades of ink on your paper and allow it to dry before you do your drawing over it. Wonderful technique.
oil on canvas :)
A medium is what ever you are making your piece of art out of. Such as: paper for a painting, clay for a clay bowl, wall or ceiling for a mural, etc.A medium in art is an object or item used to make the piece of art that you are making. For example, if I drew a picture of a house, with some crayons, a pencil, and markers, the medium for that piece of art would be the pencil, the crayons, and the markers.
Media or Medium.
