Watercolor Painting for Beginners: What is Watercolor Really?
Watercolor painting is an art technique that relies on the special interaction of water and paint. Watercolor paints are water-soluble, making the colors translucent and soft, which is one of the biggest advantages of the technique. This painting method allows you to create translucent colors while still allowing the texture of the paper to be felt in the painting.
What is watercolor paint? Watercolor paint is a water-soluble paint made from pigment and binder, so it is water-based. The paint becomes transparent when mixed with a lot of water, which allows for the technique of color mixing and glazing (layering). Watercolor painting is different from oil or acrylic painting: we can achieve a truly free, delicate and soft watercolor effect with this painting technique.
