And for the extra: A watercolour wash is a mixed technique that combines: Watercolour: water-based paint, light and transparent, often used for its effects of light and fluidity; Wash: application of diluted ink (often black or brown) in transparent layers to create shadows, volumes, or an atmosphere. A watercolour wash thus refers to a work primarily created in watercolour, enhanced or structured by washes of ink or dark watercolour, which adds more contrast, depth, and sometimes a more expressive or atmospheric rendering. It is a common technique in seascapes, landscapes, or historical scenes, particularly in the French school of the 19th–20th century. › Additional information and photos available upon request.
