Watercolors refer to a painting technique where pigments are mixed with water to create transparent or semi-transparent artwork. The colors are applied to paper using brushes, with the amount of water affecting the intensity and flow of the paint. One of the key characteristics of watercolor is its fluidity, allowing for soft, blending effects and vibrant, translucent layers. Artists can create delicate washes, detailed textures, or bold splashes of color, depending on their approach. Watercolor paints come in tubes or pans and are known for their luminous quality, which makes them ideal for creating landscapes, portraits, and abstract compositions. The medium is often associated with lightness and spontaneity, as it can be challenging to control, especially when working with large areas of wet paint. Watercolor has a long history, used in both traditional and modern art, and remains popular for its versatility, ease of transport, and expressive potential.
