A Look into Watercolor Painting


What is watercolor?

Watercolor is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-based solution. Watercolor paints are unique in that they typically do not form a cohesive paint layer, as do acrylic or oil paints, but simply scatter pigment particles randomly across the paper surface; the transparency is caused by the paper being visible between the particles. Watercolors may appear more vivid than acrylics or oils because the pigments are laid down in a purer form, with few or no fillers (such as kaolin) obscuring the pigment colors.
