About Watercolors

Watercolor paint is a method of painting using a combination of colored paints and water.
Watercolor paint is transparent, and the white of the ground, or paper, underneath provide a light that shines through the painting.
Watercolor painting is created by dipping a wet brush into the paint and applying it to the paper. The amount of water on the brush determines the lightness or darkness of the color. If more water is used the color will be brighter. If less
Water is used the color will be darker. Watercolors dry very quickly so the brushstrokes cannot be changed very easily once they are placed on the paper. Watercolor is great for making a quick sketch to be finished at another time. Color glazing is very effective in water coloring. Glazing's are created by adding a very thin pale layers or washes over each layer.
This effect creates new colors and gives a luminous result.
