    Watercolour - Paintings

    Watercolour, also known as water paint, is a painting technique using water-soluble pigments. It is a versatile medium that is popular with artists because of its transparency, luminosity and ability to create different effects.

    Here are some of the characteristics and special features of watercolour:

    Water-soluble pigments: Watercolour paints are made up of finely ground pigments mixed with water to create a liquid solution.
    Transparency: Watercolours are appreciated for their transparency, allowing layers of colour to be superimposed to create effects of depth and luminosity.
    Wash effects: Diluting pigments with water creates wash effects, where the colour spreads slightly on

    ... the paper, creating soft, subtle transitions.
    Water management: Water handling is essential in watercolour. Artists often use wet brushes, sponges or spraying techniques to create texture, blur or droplet effects.
    Watercolour paper: A good base is crucial in watercolour. Watercolour paper is specially designed to absorb water and resist distortion. There are different textures of paper, from smooth to grained, offering a variety of effects.
    Layering techniques: Watercolour artists often use techniques of layering transparent colours to create effects of depth, light and texture.
    Limited correction: Once colour has been applied to paper, it is difficult to remove or alter. This makes watercolours more spontaneous and requires advance planning.
    Conservation: Watercolours should be protected behind glass with a mat when framed to prevent them coming into direct contact with moisture.
    Watercolours are often used to depict landscapes, still lifes, portraits, flowers and other artistic subjects. It is a technique that requires practice and experimentation to master the effects and nuances of colour.
