gradation
(redirected from ablaut)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

gradation

In art, the gradual blending of one tint or tone with another. When painting, gradation can be most easily and effectively achieved by thinning down the medium or by adding progressively more white to lighten a tone. Darker tones can be created by the addition of blues, reds, or greens. Pastels and chalks lend themselves particularly well to gradation because they blend so well.
