Understanding the medium and the desired effect is crucial when applying painting pigments. For applying oil paints, artists make use of brushes, knives, and rags while layering colors to create depth. Acrylic paints can also be applied in a watery form or thickly for a textural effect. Brushes are mainly used for the application of watercolor pigments with techniques like wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry for enhanced effects. Gouache pigments offer opaque coverage and are also used with brushes. The application of pigments is also affected by the surface used such as canvas, paper, or wood.
