| This term is used to describe a technique in decorative precedures, much like stippling. It is used to imitate a frosted look of engraved glass, usually applied with a rolled up piece of cotton or cloth. The French word for 'rocking horse'. This was a movement which arose in 1915 at the beginning of the WWI and lasted until 1922. It was anti-art and an absurd desire to shock and scandalize. This is wool or silk fabric with a monochrome matte design on a satin background, obtained through the weaves of the fabric. Often used in decorative faux processes. The areas hidden from the fall of light in a painting. Traditionally they were thinly painted and usually with earth colors. Many times glazes were added as overlays to give the darks depth and create an illusion of recession. A liquid used to dilute or thin a paint. For example, in oil paints, the most common diluent is turpentine and for watercolors, water. Known as Alla Prima. See Direct Painting and Alla Prima Painting. An inpermanent type of paint where the size is mixed with the pigments. Also see Size Solutions A technique of applying a small area on a painting with unmixed color. The effects are optically mixed with the eye. Also known as Pointillism. This is a term used in the darkroom phase of photography, used when a small usually round object is placed over an area of the print being made to stop the amount of light being exposed to a specific area on the print. The movement of a stiff brush loaded with color across a dry, rough surface. The roughness can come from a textured surface or irregularities resulting from previous applications of dried paint. In dragging, the wet paint catches on the tops of the rough areas, allowing some of the previous color to show through, creating a stippled broken color effect. Oils that have the property of forming a solid, elastic surface when exposed to air. Examples are linseed oil, stand oil, walnut oil and poppy oil.
