BobBlast 423 - "You’re So Transparent!"

Weekly BobBlast Issue 423 You're So Transparent! Welcome Back to Another BobBlast! This week’s BobBlast demonstrates the effectiveness of transparent paint and colors when brushed over an existing dried painting. It’s like putting on a “stain of color.” I use both Holbein Artist Acrylics and Holbein's Fluid Acrylics. Look for the row of dots on the label - this will tell you if the paint is transparent or opaque. When I begin a painting as a monochromatic painting — using only black and white acrylic paint, I work with the dark and light shapes first. After this first step has dried, the transparent acrylics or fluid acrylic colors are then wiped or brushed over the monochromatic painting and the painting comes alive with color, without changing the painting underneath. Since the acrylics or fluid acrylics are either opaque or transparent, be certain to use only the transparent. Otherwise, the opaque paint will completely cover the artwork underneath. In my demo I am using Holbein Artist Acrylics - Marigold and Luminous Opera, both are transparent. Hope this is Crystal Clear!
