Posters, in the form of placards and posted bills, have been used since earliest times, primarily for advertising and announcements, textual posters, posters, printing techniques, production and printing, including notably the technique lithography. The invention of lithography was soon followed by chromolithography, which allowed for mass editions of posters illustrated in vibrant colors to be printed.

Oil Painting
Oil Painting, art of applying oil-based colors to a surface to create a picture or other design. Oil painting developed in Europe in the late Middle Ages. It quickly found wide acceptance because—in contrast to older wax- and water-based media, such as encaustic painting, fresco, tempera painting, and watercolor—it is easier to work with and permits a greater variety of effects. Oil paint dries relatively slowly with little change in color.
Tones are therefore easy to match, blend, or grade, and corrections are easy to make. The painter is not limited to linear brushstrokes but may apply paint in glazes, washes, blobs, trickles, spray, or impasto (thick application of pigment). Without being restricted to a prearranged design, the painter can freely change and improvise. Rich effects can be obtained with color and chiaroscuro (shading).
