WHAT DOES WASH DRAWING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

wash drawing

Wash (painting)

A wash is a painting technique in which a paint brush that is very wet with solvent and holds a small load of paint or ink is applied to a wet or dry support such as paper or primed or raw canvas. The result is a smooth and uniform area that ideally lacks the appearance of brush strokes and is semi-transparent. A wash of diluted ink or watercolor paint is very often applied in combination with drawing, as a quick and effective supplement to linear techniques. This technique is called pen and wash, wash drawing, or ink and wash. Normally only one or two colours of wash are used; if more colurs are used the result is likely to be classified as a full watercolor painting. In East Asian traditions Ink and wash painting is a very important technique, all applied with brushes, especially for landscape painting; again only one or two colours are typically used. A wash is accomplished by using a large amount of solvent with little paint. Paint consists of a pigment and binder which allows the pigment to adhere to its support. Solvents dilute the binder, thus diluting the binding strength of the paint. Washes can be brittle and fragile paint films because of this.
