The blending

The blending is a technique that allows making a slight transition between two colors. This technique is generally used in oil paintings. However some other materials like watercolor or acrylic are also workable. In this session, we will speak about oil painting that, thanks to its extreme adaptability, can easily be mixed. Here are the steps :
Place the two colors side by side
Always pass in the same side a dry and clean brush on the separation line in order to mix the different tints
If you work with a pencil, you will make a blend by using an eraser. For the pastel or the charcoal, fingers are the best tools.
