Water Colour painting techniques
- Watercolor painting, in its wider sense, refers to all pigments mixed with water rather than with oil and also to the paintings produced by this process. The advantages of watercolor lie in the ease and quickness of its application, in the transparent effects achievable, in the brilliance of its colors, and in its relative cheapness.
- Aquarelles have a delicacy difficult to achieve in oil and are equally flexible, lending themselves to immediate expression of a visual experience. Their handling demands considerable skill as overpainting of flaws is usually impossible.
- Watercolor was traditionally a comparatively perishable medium, vulnerable to sunlight, dust, and contact with glass surfaces, but the use of modern pigments has made it much more stable.
- Watercolor Flat Wash - A flat wash is one that is a solid color from the top to the bottom of the page or area in which you need a flat color. Watercolor Graded Wash - Each stroke should be slightly lighter than the one before.
- Glazing With Watercolor- So many beginning artists are afraid to put color on the paper. We all want to jump right in and paint a subject before we think about what is going on around it.
- Wet-in-Wet Watercolor Technique - Applying color to a wet surface. Usually I wet the paper or surface first, and while it is still wet, I apply the first color of the painting.
- Dry Brush Watercolor Techniques - This is a detail technique, when you do not use much water on the brush, but apply the color with a brush that is not dripping wet. You have quite a bit of control with this method, but it should be used for textures and detail.

Acrylic painting tips
Seven simple Techniques for Acrylic Paintings
- Watercolor Techniques. Identical to Watercolors, Acrylic Paints work as a brilliant transparent medium. However, unlike Watercolors, the advantage with Acrylic Paints is that they do not disturb the existing film of paint.
- Blending of Opaque Colors. As is evident from the name, Opaque Colors make the paint layers non-transparent and therefore, blending these colors well is very tricky. Colors are blended by initially painting each shade side by side on your support. A clean, Soft Brush is used to blend them. For further blending, move the Brush around until the desired hue is mixed.
- Sgraffito. This Acrylic Painting Technique is a Scratching Technique, and the term, Sgraffito, was coined from an Italian word "Graffiare," which means to scratch. As the meaning of the name suggests, Sgraffito is done by scratching into the surface of Wet Paint to create interesting patterns. Sharp tools, (Knives, Screwdrivers, and Pointed Brush Tips) are used for the purpose.
- Preventing Paint from Drying. To implement this Acrylic Painting Technique, you spray a light mist of water over the layer of Acrylic Paints on the Canvas.
- Creating Fluid in Acrylic Paint. This Acrylic Painting Technique involves adding water to the Acrylic Paints, just as you do with Watercolors. The Water-Acrylic Paint ratio depends upon the thickness and the requirement of the Glaze. Opaque Painting requires more paint and less of water, whereas the transparent Glaze needs more water.
- Using Squeegee. This Acrylic Painting Technique also helps in creating interesting designs. Pour some paint on the support and smear it on to the Canvas with the help of a Squeegee.
- Pouring Paint. This is an innovative Acrylic Painting Technique. In this, the required quantity of paint is poured directly on to the surface of the Canvas. The Canvas is then tilted to mix the paint. Here, blending takes place naturally.

Impressionism
Impressionist art is a style in which the artist captures the image of an object as someone would see it if they just caught a glimpse of it. They paint the pictures with a lot of color and most of their pictures are outdoor scenes. Their pictures are very bright and vibrant. The artists like to capture their images without detail but with bold colors. Some of the greatest impressionist artists were Edouard Manet, Camille Pissaro, Edgar Degas, Alfred Sisley, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot and Pierre Auguste Renoir.
