  • Hue refers to the actual color itself, such as red, blue, or green.
  • Saturation (also called intensity) refers to the purity or strength of the color. A highly saturated color is vivid and pure, while a less saturated color appears duller or washed out.
  • Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Adding white to a color creates a tint (lightens it), while adding black creates a shade (darkens it).

What is the difference between acrylic, oil, and water color paints?

  • Acrylic paint is fast-drying and water-based. It can be thinned with water and is versatile, allowing for both opaque and transparent effects. Acrylics can be used on various surfaces and are known for their quick drying time, which makes them suitable for artists who work quickly.
  • Oil paint is slow-drying and uses oil (like linseed oil) as a binder. It allows for rich textures, blending, and smooth transitions in color. The slow drying time gives artists more time to work with the paint, creating subtle gradations and details. It requires solvents like turpentine for thinning and cleaning.
  • Water color is often dried or concentrated pigment that needs the introduction of water to turn to paint. water color is transparent.
