Blick Art Materials | What Is Paint, Really? @Blick_Art | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Okay, but…what is paint, really? 🥸
Breaking it down into the simplest terms: pigments ✚ binder ✚ vehicle = 🎨
Right? Well…😛
The truth is, from the very start artists have thrived on trying new things and mixing materials in novel ways. Just think of all the materials that are used *like* paint—but called something else!
Still, definitions are vital for preserving historic traditions and techniques. Especially in paintmaking, a craft that connects modern artists to the working studios of artists who, long gone, live on through their timeless works 🌟
Thoughts? Opinions? We wanna hear ‘em! ⬇️ Tell us in the comments.
