WATERCOLORS



Watercolor, also known in French as "aquarelle", is named for its primary component. It consists of a pigment dissolved in water and bound by a colloid agent- usually a gum, such as gum arabic. It is applied with a brush onto a supporting surface, such as vellum, fabric, or more commonly— dampened paper. The resulting mark (after the water has evaporated) is transparent, allowing light to reflect from the supporting surface, to luminous effect. Learn more here!
