There are many different painting techniques. Each one has it’s own pluses and minuses,, and some people are better at one technique and terrible at others. A few of the best painting techniques to decorate a home are sponge painting, strppling, paneling, and sponge painting. They are all quite different from one another but also very fun to do. Employing any of these painting techniques will add character and charm to the home. One technique that takes only the most basic of instruction and very little preparation is dappling paint onto the wall.

The best way to learn new and interesting painting techniques is to start with a small and easily manageable project. By starting small, it is easy to successfully complete the project. Once the project is completed, the individual will have gained confidence that will come in handy on a larger painting job.

Most special painting techniques involve some sort of broken color. Broken color is the term for applying colors in layers that are broken and laid over different base color coats in order to create textured or mottled effect. This usually involves applying different washes and glazes over a solid background. These glazes are composed of oil paint that is mixed with transparent washes and linseed oil. They are best when the paint remains open and is usable for a much longer time period. The washes are latex paint that is thinned by using water that produces colorant. This allows the paint to appear fresher, more delicate, and even purer. These washes are also much easier to clean up and modify than other types of paint. This simple fact makes washes much more appealing than other options that are available to beginning painters.

Sponge painting is another quick and easy painting technique. This technique involves applying paint with a sponge on top of the base. This is generally a very well-liked technique. People seem to like the way it looks, and it is very easy for a beginner to have good results with it.

Whatever painting techniques a person attempts, it is important that he or she has fun. Painting is one of the great sources of pleasure in life. The fact that there are so many different and interesting techniques just makes it more enjoyable.

What techniques have been used in painting The Hay Wain?

The Hay Wain represents a near-perfect English summer day and Constable accomplishes this by using natural light and painting realistically from his sketches of the scene. As a young boy Constable often went out "skying", sketching the clouds and sky to perfect his technique. One of Constable's most innovative techniques was to create light on water by using white paint as a highlight. This technique can be seen in The Hay Wain as the water from the stream in the foreground is disturbed by the wheels of the hay wain itself.
