Poster colour
In this Class 9 Art Education topic from Painting Techniques, students learn to use poster colour as an opaque, water-based painting medium. They explore colour mixing, tonal variation, brush control, smooth and flat application, layering, and the use of light-dark contrast. The topic also helps students understand how colour choices, composition, and neat finishing can make an artwork clear, balanced, and visually expressive.
