watercolour painting being painted

Watercolor (American English) or watercolour (British English), also aquarelle (French);
from Italian diminutive of Latin aqua "water", is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-based solution. Watercolor refers to both the medium and the resulting artwork.

Watercolour techniques are essential when it comes to mastering the art of watercolour painting. Watercolours started being developed thousands of years ago, so over time many different techniques have been practised. It's a complex, but extremely versatile medium, once you get a hang of it.

Combining the reflection of the white paper, and the translucent, delicate watercolour paints, creates an enchanting luminosity on the page. Watercolours are not easy to master, but with the right techniques and plenty of practice, they can be incredibly rewarding.
