Rockwell was a modern realist painter. That is, he used the "new" technology that was available to him, Photography, plus other theatrical tools. Since most of his models were not professional, but "common folk", he couldn't expect them to pose for hours while he painted them. Using photography to catch details like shoes and socks (check out the detail in his paintings of shoes and socks!), he was able to work on his schedule and not the model's. His technique was mostly classical but he didn't hesitate to break the rules of the day. The academic snobbishness of the more modern, abstract and impressionist afficionados, contributed to the labeling of him as a "mere illustrator". This, too, was fueled by his success and popularity. Artists tend to resent their peers who are financially successful by making snide remarks about others. When abstract art was very popular in the 1960-1970s, the realists said rather horrible things about them. In fact, as a realist painter myself, I tend to make sarcastic remarks about abstract artists as "scribblers" with "little talent"...but at least I know where that comes from.
He painted with water based paints such as gouache and watercolors.
But in most cases oil paint.
