It’s the application of wet paint on top of wet paint, omitting the traditional wait for each layer to dry. Using special firm oil paints and starting with a wet based canvas, paint may be glided across the canvas with large brushes and palette knives–making clouds, mountains, trees, and water appear in seconds….AND IT’S SO EASY!
