There are several mediums for painting including watercolor, oil, tempera, pastel, fresco, and acrylic. Key elements of a painting are distance, color, light, line, shapes, composition, perspective, and symbols. Styles of painting include abstract, which does not depict the subject realistically, and expressionist styles like symbolism, fauvism, dadaism, surrealism, and futurism that allow for personal expression.
