what is wet on wet technique in painting ?

Question

what i should do on canvas for that
in acriylic or oil colors

Answer 1

wet on wet usually refers to water color painting when you apply the second colour on top of the first colour on the paper, that is still wet, and you have them both "run" together to make a blend of both colours.

Answer 2

In oil or acrylic it is essentially the same. What you do is mix your paints on the canvas. The TV artist Bab Ross would cover his canvas with a thin coat of thin paint White over colored gesso. With the white , while it is still wet you go into the sky color. Darker than what you would think. You start at the top and in criss cross strokes you fill in the sky. The white mixes with the color to make the sky. For trees house Bushes. You have a dark background and paint lighter high lights it. You can do the same method with acrylics used like oil paints. For using acrylic with a lot of water for a water color effect you make the wash with the color and water then you can apply more color to the already wet area and the colors bleed together to form some great effects. thinner

Answer 3

The wet technique in water colors is the process of wetting the paper first and then applying the paint with lots of water, too.

This will cause a blurring effect.

If you are working in oil, run linseed oil or turpentine on the canvas and then apply your paint.

Acrylics are a water-based paint that can be used thinner or more thickly.
Just wet your canvas or board to produce a wet effect with water before you apply the paint.

Have fun and experiment !

Answer 4

Pretty much what some have said so far, applying paint over another color while it is still wet. Although you can do it with both acrylics and oils, you may have to use a retarder in the acrylic to slow down the drying.
I do oils myself and wet on wet works great for me because i try to get at least 80% of my painting done in one sitting.

Answer 5

You can do a wet on wet technique with either acryllic oil or watercolors. It's quite simple really: While your paint on the canvas is still wet, you apply another wet color. Wet on wet...

By the way, it works best with watercolor and acryllic.
