Have you ever tried to transparentize your artwork?

No, but I’ve seen some artists do it with layers.

That sounds cool! I should experiment with that technique.

Root Explanation

Transparentize → It is formed from "transparent" (from Latin "transparens", meaning to show through) and "-ize" (a suffix used to form verbs meaning to make or to become). The word "transparentize" means to make something transparent or to cause it to be able to be seen through.

Memory Tip

Think of making something 'able to be seen through' — 'transparent' means to show through, and '-ize' means to make.
