Opaque colours

अपारदर्शी रंग

In this Class 10 Art Education topic from the chapter “Methods and Materials of Painting,” students learn how opaque colours cover the surface beneath them and create solid, dense areas of colour. The topic explains their difference from transparent colours, along with the role of pigments, binders, layering, colour mixing, tonal values, highlights, and corrections. Students also explore how brush control, surface choice, and controlled application help produce balanced forms, clear details, and expressive paintings.
