Answer to Question 1

Sargent's Mountain Stream is an example of a classic watercolor technique, controlled yet spontaneous in feeling. Lam uses gouache, a watercolor paint with white pigment, and exploits both the transparent and opaque possibilities of this medium.

Answer to Question 2

When oil paints were first introduced, most artists, including Petrus Christus, continued working on wood panels. Christus employed a slow and time-consuming technique of glaze building that yielded a meticulous, detailed image. Gradually, however, artists adopted canvas instead of wood, as in Sillman's work. Further, Sillman's piece conveys a more spontaneous approach of laying paint down on the canvas, including showing the underlayers of paint.
