wet on wet
Fresh over fresh
Wet on wet is a painting technique where fresh paint is applied onto still-wet paint rather than waiting for layers to dry.
The method allows colors to blend and soften on the canvas, creating smooth transitions and atmospheric effects.
Bob Ross popularized the technique in his television painting tutorials: We'll just use a little wet-on-wet here to blend those happy clouds.
