00:00Painting Techniques

00:11Fratas, painting with an almost dry brush on a dry layer of paint,

00:15without completely covering this ladder. It is a key technique for creating chromatic

00:20textures which can produce better results on a layer of paint which has a texture with volume.

00:30Fratas serves also as a finish technique for creating smooth transitions between chromatic

00:35areas. Sharp borders or tones which change abruptly can be smoothened through the technique

00:41of fratas. Diversity of texture can enhance the realism of paintings by applying particular

00:54textures, either flat or with volume, on different painting areas which then acquire

00:58their own personality. A variety of finish effects on the painting surface can help in

01:09highlighting the separation between the different depth planes. In a painted landscape, the areas

01:15with a greater texture seem to be closer to the viewer. Aerial perspective can transmit

01:27the feeling of distance by highlighting the separation between the different depth planes.

01:33Different techniques can be combined to achieve and enhance this effect.

01:42As distance increases, the different colors are proportionally desaturated or cooled by

01:47adding the required amounts of gray or blue to them. The effect of distance is achieved

01:52also by proportionally reducing the contrast and the level of detail of the elements located

01:57in the distant planes. Saturation is the intensity that any given color has.

02:09The saturation of a color is reduced by mixing that color with gray.

02:14A methodical process of desaturation can enhance the realism or alter the mood of a painting.

02:20Complementarity increases the chromatic contrast between areas of different chromaticism.

02:26Each color has a complementary color, which produces the maximum chromatic contrast

02:30when both colors are adjacent. Reduced palettes allow to create a painting with a more harmonious

02:46and personal chromaticism. They allow to avoid chromatic dissonances and focus on the

02:53formal aspects of the painting without getting lost in a swarm of colors.

03:06The most basic color palette comprises three colors, black, white and a third color of our

03:11choice. Palettes of four, five or six colors are a good choice for a great range of painting

03:17techniques, styles and themes.
