Painting Media Available at Vista Gallery

Acrylic Paints

Acrylic Paints, made from a combination of ground pigment and acrylic polymer, are fast drying.

Oil Paints

Typically, oil based paints remain wet longer than other types of painting media, allowing the artists to alter the color, texture or form of the image.

Watercolor Paints

These paints are made of pigments suspended in a water soluble binder, such as gun arabic.
