Happy new year, everyone!

Have you ever heard the terms "tea", "milk" and "honey" in watercolor painting?

Well these terms are not official terms for different types of color. However, these terms are sometimes used informally by watercolor artists to refer to different consistency and water vs pigment ratio.

For more details see the image below,

Tea: Using a larger amount of water and a less concentrated amount of paint to create a more diluted, translucent color. This technique can be used to create soft, subtle gradations and a more delicate, ethereal look. We can use tea for the first wash and will serve as first layer of the painting.

Milk: Using a medium amount of water and a moderate amount of paint to create a color that is somewhere between tea and honey in terms of pigment concentration and transparency. This technique can be used to achieve a wide range of effects, depending on the specific colors and proportions used. We also can use this technique for painting the second layer, it will give more detail on our painting.

Honey: Using a small amount of water and a concentrated amount of paint to create a strong, highly pigmented color. This technique can be used to create deep, rich hues and strong contrasts between light and dark areas.

We often use this technique in courses. If you are interested in learning more about watercolor painting, you can join our classes here:
