Let's explore watercolor in various forms!

Watercolor paints are made by mixing finely ground pigments with water-soluble binders. This allows for transparent layers. The medium is known for its versatility, since you can control the color intensity by adjusting the water-to-pigment ratio. Some popular techniques include "wet-on-wet" and "dry brush." Its quick drying time and portability make it suitable for both studio and en plein air work. Because of the medium's transparency, it can be challenging to make corrections in a work.
