Note: Pigments usually come in the form of powders, the result of grinding various materials, mainly of mineral origin. A variety of ingredients are used to bind pigments together. Among the oldest is a combination of beaten egg-yolk and water which when mixed with pigments, is called tempera. Starting in the 15^th century, a new vehicle for coloured pigments appeared: oil. This has been justifiably considered one of the major advances in painting of all time. Pigments are bound together with oil and diluted at will by either oil or spirits (usually with a mixture of both)
