%X This manuscript describes the main technological developments and their impact on the preparations of paints. Initially, man used metal oxides and hydroxides to produce rock art, where colloquial scenes, such as hunting, fishing, fruits recollection, fighting and sex, were described. When civilization started up techniques were developed for the preparation of Watercolor, Gouache, China ink and Tempera, that together with new synthetic pigments have been the raw materials for all artistic production for millennia. Approximately in the XVth century the use of oils to prepare paints was the basis for renaissance art production. Finally, the petrochemical revolution in the XXth century changed the artistic market, with special contribution of the acrylic inks, which are now the mostly used by artists.
