Paint types used
See the paint types documented in Schaechter's work, with links to PaintZeal references explaining each medium's properties, uses, and working characteristics.
Oil Paint
Oil paint is a slow-drying paint made with pigment and a drying oil binder. It is widely used for artwork because it blends smoothly and develops rich color.
Surface types used
See the surface types documented in Schaechter's work, with links to PaintZeal references explaining how each support behaves and is prepared for painting.
Glass
Glass is a hard, smooth, nonporous material that offers little natural grip for paint. Its transparency also makes brush marks and uneven coverage more visible.
