Mediums have been used for a variety of purposes by artists for hundreds of years: as a binder or vehicle for dry pigments, as an enhancement to color, to make an oil color more workable on the canvas, to increase or decrease the drying time, to provide protection to partially dried or fully dried paintings, and many other reasons which are all dependent on the preference and style of the individual artist.
