Watercolor, also spelled as "watercolour" in British English, is a painting method in which pigments are suspended in a water-based solution. It is known for its transparent and luminous qualities, allowing light to pass through the paint layers and reflect off the white surface of the paper beneath, creating vibrant and delicate effects.
Artists use watercolor by applying diluted pigment onto paper with brushes, typically starting with light washes and gradually building up layers of color to achieve depth and richness. The transparency of watercolor allows for a range of techniques, including wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and dry brushing, each yielding different textures and effects.
Watercolor is valued for its versatility, portability, and spontaneity, making it a popular choice among artists for capturing landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and various subjects with expressive and fluid brushwork. It is often used in combination with other mediums such as ink, gouache, or colored pencils to enhance or complement its effects.
