Watercolour

Watercolor painting is a fluid and expressive medium that relies on transparent pigments mixed with water to create luminous layers and delicate washes. Artists use techniques like wet-on-wet for soft, blended effects and wet-on-dry for crisp, defined edges. The unpredictability of water movement adds spontaneity, while lifting and glazing allow for depth and detail. Mastering control of water and pigment is key to achieving the characteristic lightness and vibrancy of watercolor art.
