A lot goes into making painting successful key among that being techniques. Professional painters use unique techniques in accomplishing the task and you need to know about some of these skills. “Detail first and background last” is a technique that is common with a host of painters. In this, priority is given to the detail with complete painting before proceeding to the background. It can be the entire detail or part of it but that is where main priority lies.

“One section at a time” is another technique that can project perfection when it comes to painting. This advocates for the need to have one section of the painting area worked on perfectly before proceeding to the next. This technique does not allow for progress to the next section before the previous one is completely painted. “Finish the background first” is a technique where a painter first works on the background and hen proceeds to other parts. This technique is very tricky because color selection has to be perfect otherwise it might not be uniform with the subject.

“Detailed drawing then paint” technique is applicable where painting is done together with some drawings. This is very flexible because one can have the drawing done on a paper and then transferred or have it done directly on the image. With this, your drawing must attain perfection failure to which the painting to come later will flop. “Under painting” technique is used by many painters who are patient enough. If you are one of the painters who are on the rush all the time then don’t consider using this technique because it will fail you.

It works through creation of a colorless version of the actual painting and glazing it with transparent colors. You are warned not to use opaque colors. There is the “all at once” technique where painting is completed in a single session. This technique does not allow for one to leave the painting to dry as it’s done on a wet-on-wet basis. A painting session can take long but it will all depend on the amount of work being done among several other factors.
