Paint color and pigments are not created equal and once you know what to look for you can use this knowledge to strengthen your paintings. In this video I want to show you two ways to discover if a color is transparent, opaque or semi transparent (sometimes called translucent)

Why is it important and why do you need to know? Well if you want to paint over an area for example. The opaque would cover an area up. The translucent would somewhat cover the area but not too well, it will look like you need to add many layers to cover it up and the color will most likely be affected. Opaque colors like Yellow Ochre or Titanium White will cover an area completely.

Bonus tip:
How to make a transparent color more opaque you can add another color that is opaque such as titanium white or another color that is opaque AND in the same color family. See exactly how to do so in the video tutorial here. This information with work regardless of whether you use oil or acrylic paint colors.
