Materials in easel painting

Easel painting primarily involves the use of canvas or wood panels as surfaces, with oil, acrylic, or watercolor paints as the medium. Artists may also utilize a variety of tools such as brushes, palette knives, and sponges for application. Additionally, preparatory materials like gesso are often used to prime surfaces, enhancing paint adhesion and vibrancy. Other accessories, such as palettes and easels, support the painting process and allow for better control and manipulation of the artwork.
