​

Considered the ancestor of thewatercolor, the wash is a technique that requires only one color (monochrome) that is diluted  to obtain different intensities.

The superposition of layers or the mixing of pigments offers a wide range of tones, light or dark.

​

The wash was used in China as early as the 6th century. This pictorial process then traveled to Japan (sumi-e) and Korea, before arriving in the West during the Renaissance.

Some famous artists like Rembrandt, Poussin, Victor Hugo... appreciated the wash for the study of chiaroscuro.

​

This technique teaches us delicacy and poetry while inviting us to the spontaneity of the gesture, in search of the right balance between meticulous details and thick vigorous lines.
