Wet-on-wet technique

The wet-on-wet technique is a painting method where wet paint is applied onto a wet surface or layer of paint. This allows colors to blend seamlessly, creating soft edges and smooth transitions. Artists often use this technique to achieve dreamy or atmospheric effects, particularly in watercolor and oil painting. By working with wet materials, they can manipulate the paint to create unique textures and depth. This method contrasts with wet-on-dry, where paint is applied to a dry surface, resulting in sharper, more defined lines. Wet-on-wet is celebrated for its spontaneity and fluidity, enhancing creativity in artwork.
