The document discusses several common methods of Greek painting including Kerch vases, which were red-figured pottery named after the place they were found. Common shapes included pelikes (wine containers), lekanis (low bowls), and kraters (bowls used for mixing wine and water). Motifs often depicted scenes from women's lives or mythology that were popular in Black Sea regions. Polychromy, the combination of multiple colors, was a technique frequently employed. Panel paintings on wood also existed but few remain due to degradation, while tomb/wall frescoes using tempera or encaustic were popular during the Classical period.
