TYPES OF PAINTING
Watercolor Paint
Watercolor painting is often the first type of painting that we learn as children. This type of painting involves water-soluble paints, a paintbrush, and water, and it produces a dreamy artwork with soft edges. You can vary the intensity of the colors by the
amount of water that you use, following the likes of Vincent Van Gogh and Georgia O'Keeffe who created great collections in watercolor.

Oil Paint
Oil painting uses a drying oil instead of water for the paint. The colors tend to opaquer and can easily be scraped away or painted over in case of mistakes, although the paint also takes longer to dry. And, if you seek to achieve vivid or dark colors and
stronger edges, then oil painting will produce those effects.

Acrylic Paint
Acrylic paints, which have acrylic polymers and plasticizers as the binding agent for the pigments, are versatile in the results that you can achieve. Add more water for a watercolor look or add acrylic gels or pastes to create an oil-painted appearance.
You can change the consistency to suit your needs and come up with different combinations that make your piece unique; that said, it's less forgiving in mistakes.
Gouache Paint
Gouache paints are like opaque watercolors, offering the possibility to create soft or textured paintings for a wide range of techniques. The paints are made from pigments, water, and gum Arabic. It dries quickly but can be reactivated with more water;
this type of paint dries matte and is a heavier paint due to the chalk that's incorporated into it.

Pastel Paint
Pastel painting involves using pastels, either oil pastels or soft pastels, to create paintings. Unlike watercolor or acrylic or oil paints, these come in the form of sticks and you can draw and color with them with the precision of a pencil—no paint brush
required. Mary Cassatt's famous painting Sleepy Baby (1910) was done in pastels.
