COMMON ART QUESTIONS

COLOR What is "Transparent?"

Last updated on 19 Jun, 2023

Transparent color is thin, and generally has texture, marks, or colors that can be seen underneath the transparent color. If you painted a wall three times with a flat, blue, wall paint you would have a very opaque color, but if you then poured coffee on top of that, you would have turned that blue opaque color into a transparent color. Transparent colors tend to go back in space.
