Painting #2 shows Art either hang gliding or on a motorcycle.
The painting of Art next to a windmill is done either in acrylics or tempera paints.
Art's hang gliding picture and the one done in tempera paints are in different rows.

#1 surfing temperas #2 motorcycle oils #3 hang gliding watercolors #4 windmill acrylics
Painting #2 shows Art either hang gliding or on a motorcycle (clue 2).

#1 #2 hang gliding/motorcycle #3 #4
Therefore, Art is surfing in painting #1 and the watercolor is #3 (5).

#1 surfing #2 hang gliding/motorcycle #3 watercolor #4
The painting of Art by a windmill is acrylics or temperas (3), so it must be painting #4.
#1 surfing #2 hang gliding/motorcycle #3 hang gliding/motorcycle watercolor #4 windmill acrylics/temperas
The oil painting isn't #1 (1), so it must be #2.
#1 surfing acrylics/temperas #2 hang gliding/motorcycle oils #3 hang gliding/motorcycle watercolor #4 windmill acrylics/temperas
The acrylic doesn't show Art surfing (5), so it shows him next to a windmill, and the surfing painting must be done in temperas.
#1 surfing temperas #2 hang gliding/motorcycle oils #3 hang gliding/motorcycle watercolor #4 windmill acrylics
Painting #3, then, depicts Art hang gliding (4). By elimination, #2 shows him on his motorcycle.
#1 surfing temperas #2 motorcycle oils #3 hang gliding watercolors #4 windmill acrylics
