Painting Technique You Must Try.

In contrast to gouache, watercolor paint is always transparent. This transparency gives the works of art a soft appearance.
- Collage

The recycled materials are photos, pages from magazines, newspapers, posters or drawings. Many people add paint to their collages to create more depth. Making collage is an easy technique that is accessible to everyone!
- Airbrush

It therefore seems as if the color of the painting changes when you look at it from a different point of view.
- Alla fine
Alla prima is also called Nat in Nat Painting. With this technique you don’t first mix your colors on a palette, but on the canvas.

This gives you more natural transitions and you have more possibilities to correct, because you can move the paint very easily.
