Painting Materials Used in Non-Indigenous Culture.
Non-indigenous Australian artists have traditionally used oil paint. Oil paint is a slow drying paint made by mixing the pigments with oil.. It dries with a hard film, and the brightness of the colours is protected. Oil paints are usually opaque and traditionally are used on canvas.

Why the materials differ between cultures.
The indigenous culture uses a wide range of mediums and colors that represent their land and make connections between the artist and artwork. This differs from the non-indigenous painting materials and methods because traditionally non-indigenous people work on flat surfaces with wide ranges of color which may have no representation to themselves or surroundings. You can see in the images below the different shades and textures of the painting mediums.
