2. Mixing paint and Colour Theory and Technique Boot Camp

     Tint - adding white

     Shade - adding black

     Tone - adding grey

     Intensity - brightness or dullness of colour - mix with complementary

  • Varying intensity of colours with complementary colours
  • Flat stroke - even band of colour
  • Using wide side, thin side of brush
  • Stipple - "pounce" the brush up and down to create texture
  • Dry brush - use only a small amount of paint, wiping off some on paper towel
  • Blending colours - create smooth transition
  • Sgraffito - scratched in
  • Scumbling - a thin layer of colour is applied over a first layer of another colour; patches show through
  • Impasto - thick application
