Explanation:

Analyze the painting mediums

We need to match each of the four painting mediums with its corresponding set of ingredients based on Paint Composition.

• oil: Typically composed of pigment bound with a drying oil, most commonly linseed oil.
• fresco: A technique of mural painting executed upon freshly laid lime plaster. The pigments are mixed with water and applied directly to the wet plaster, which acts as the binder.
• encaustic: Also known as hot wax painting, it involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added.
• tempera: A permanent, fast-drying painting medium consisting of colored pigments mixed with a water-soluble binder medium, traditionally glutinous material such as egg yolk.

Match each medium to its ingredients

Let's match each numbered option to the descriptions:

1. oil matches with "linseed oil and pigment".
2. fresco matches with "pigment, water, and plaster support" (referencing Fresco Painting).
3. encaustic matches with "hot wax and resin".
4. tempera matches with "water and oil, fat, milk, or egg yolk" (referencing Egg Tempera Technique).

Answer:

• oil: linseed oil and pigment
• fresco: pigment, water, and plaster support
• encaustic: hot wax and resin
• tempera: water and oil, fat, milk, or egg yolk
