Water Color
Water color is difficult to handle
because producing warm and rich tones
using this medium proves to be a
challenge. Water color pigments invite
brilliance and a variety of hues. Simple
and clear spontaneity is its principal
essence.
An example of a technique used by artist to
make the color less luminous is the method
of gouache. The gouache is done by
mixing zinc white with the regular
watercolor paints to tone them down,
giving the appearance of sobriety suitable
for dramatic purposes.
7. Acrylic

contemporary painters because of the
transparency and quick drying characteristics of
watercolor and the flexibility of oil combined.
Acrylic paints do not tend to break easily unlike
oil paints which turn yellowish or darker over a
period of time.

pencil, pen, and ink, or charcoal. It is most
