The Correct Answer and Explanation is :

Here’s the matching of the terms to the definitions, along with the explanation:

1. Primer – painting surface preparation
   A primer is a preparatory coating applied to a surface before painting. It ensures proper adhesion of the paint to the surface and can prevent the paint from soaking into the material too much. It is also used to enhance the longevity of the paint.
2. Support – paint surface
   The support refers to the physical surface or structure on which the painting is applied. It can be made of various materials such as canvas, wood, or paper. The support is essential for holding the artwork, whether it is a mural or a canvas painting.
3. Encaustic – vehicle
   Encaustic is a painting technique that uses hot wax as a medium for pigment. In this case, the wax serves as the vehicle, which is the substance that carries the pigment and binds it together. Encaustic paint can be applied in various layers and textures.
4. Vehicle – holds pigment together
   A vehicle is the medium or substance that carries the pigment in paint. It helps to spread the pigment evenly over the surface and can vary depending on the type of paint (e.g., oil, acrylic). In encaustic painting, the vehicle is the wax, while in oil paints, it’s the oil.
5. Binder – adheres paint to the surface
   The binder is a component of paint that binds the pigment particles together and allows the paint to adhere to the painting surface. For example, in oil paint, the binder is typically linseed oil, while in watercolors, gum arabic serves as the binder.
6. Pigment – provides color
   Pigment is the substance that gives paint its color. Pigments are often derived from natural or synthetic sources and are finely ground to mix with a vehicle and binder. They are the key ingredient for achieving the desired color in the paint.
7. Cartoon – full-size drawing of final project
   A cartoon in the context of art is a full-size preliminary drawing or sketch used to transfer an image or design onto a surface, such as a wall in the case of fresco painting.
8. Fresco – painting on a wall or ceiling using water-based pigments
   Fresco is a mural painting technique in which pigments are applied to a surface that has been prepared with wet plaster. This allows the paint to absorb into the surface as it dries, making the paint an integral part of the wall. It is often used for large-scale wall paintings.

I will now generate a relevant image based on this explanation.
