Thinning Craft Paints With Windshield Washer and Future?

[Nalissa2]

So, does that mean that True Transparent paints will never completely cover up an area?

Well, if you put twenty or so layers of any transparent color over a lighter color (for example red over white, flesh or pale yellow), eventually all you'll see is the built up red ... it's not that the red covered the lighter color, it's just the red overpowered the lighter color underneath.

Where as if you try to paint a lighter transparent over a darker base (for example yellow transparent over black), you'll get a reflective hue of the lighter color, but no amount of transparent will over power the black. If the base color is a mid range brown, it will change the hue of brown, but not cover it.

Hope that makes sense.

Yes. I think I understand. I will need to experiment...

Thank you for the explanation.
