Painting Techniques

It doesn’t make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.” – Jackson Pollock


There are various painting techniques that artists use to create their paintings. In my earlier work, I used blended brush stroke techniques where the colors blend into one another. Whereas, in my later work, I used finger painting techniques where I want viewers to see how I express myself through using my fingers to blend colors. 


Painting techniques are more successful and achieved when artists implement their own emotions and feelings into their work which is the main reason for creating a piece of art.
