The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that may be achieved by evaporative cooling of a water-wetted, ventilated surface.. By contrast, the dew point is the temperature to which the ambient air must be cooled to reach 100% relative humidity assuming there is no further evaporation into the air; it is the temperature where condensation (dew) and clouds would form.
The wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a measure of environmental heat as it affects humans. Unlike a simple temperature measurement, WBGT accounts for all four major environmental heat factors: air temperature, humidity, radiant heat (from sunlight or sources such as furnaces), and air movement (wind or ventilation).

A wash of diluted ink or watercolor paint applied in combination with drawing is called pen and wash, wash drawing, or ink and wash. [ citation needed ] Normally only one or two colours of wash are used; if more colours are used the result is likely to be classified as a full watercolor painting .
Wet bulb globe temperature is a better indicator of the risk posed by outdoor conditions than either heat index or temperature, experts say.
‘Wet-bulb temperature’ refers to temperatures taken with a thermometer covered in a wet cloth, which are normally slightly cooler than ‘dry-bulb’ temperatures.
Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man (c. 1485) Accademia, Venice. Drawing is a visual art that uses an instrument to mark paper or another two-dimensional surface. The instruments used to make a drawing are pencils, crayons, pens with inks, brushes with paints, or combinations of these, and in more modern times, computer styluses with graphics tablets or gamepads in VR drawing software.
Winslow Homer, Rowing Home (1890), an example of the wet-on-wet technique in watercolor, especially in the sky Wet-on-wet , or alla prima (Italian, meaning at first attempt ), direct painting or au premier coup , [ 1 ] is a painting technique in which layers of wet paint are applied to previously administered layers of wet paint.
In art, watermedia is the general term for media that are distinguished from oil or other media by being diluted with water when used. [1] Watermedia include watercolors, gouache and acrylic, amongst others. It is sometimes combined with other media, commonly collage. [2]
