Traditionally, artists mixed their own paints from raw pigments they often ground themselves and medium. This made portability difficult and kept most painting activities confined to the studio. This changed in the late 1800s, when oil paint in tubes became widely available. Artists could mix colors quickly and easily, which enabled, for the first time, relatively convenient plein air (outdoor) painting (a common approach in French Impressionism).
In the last two decades, China’s economy has grown rapidly, becoming the world’s second largest economy after the U.S. China has gained this achievement by becoming the factory of the world and exporting cheap products to oversea markets. However, recently China has been losing its advantages in the export sector, which its economy is heavily reliant on. New data shows a visible slowdown in manufacturing in China and it’s time for China to reform its manufacturing model to resist this slowdown.

Art in ancient China manifested itself through many different forms and mediums. These included ceramics, painting, lacquerware, and sculpture.(The Kingfisher history encyclopedia, 2004, p. 186) During the period from the Tang dynasty to the end of the Ming dynasty, Chinese art flourished. However, during the Song and Mongol dynasties, painting reached its high point in traditional China. (Spielvogel, World history: the human odyssey, 1998, p. 299)

Acrylic paint was introduced to the art world during the 1940s and sold commercially in the 1950s. It was originally considered as a substitute for oil paints, but not competition. However, as times proceeds, artist saw it as just that. According to davidlangevin.com, “scientific studies and accelerated aging tests confirm that acrylics will likely outlast oils in almost every category associated with permanent painting.” Acrylic was made to be easier for the painter, hence the beginner stigma attached. It has bigger pigments, which makes it thinner and more transparent. Additionally, it is water-based, which allows quicker drying times and easier cleanups. Based upon the artist, this can be a huge advantage; if the artist creates quicker, then there is nothing holding the creator back from finishing. The water-based paint
