Imagine building a cake, you don’t just put all the layers on at once. Artists use layers to make their paintings look deep and rich, like they're hiding secrets inside. They might paint a background first, then add people or trees on top, and even do little details last, like eyes or highlights that make things shine.
Examples
- They paint a tree first and then add little yellow flowers at the end.
- The artist paints a person’s face last so their eyes look bright.
