Watercolour Strokes

Watercolour strokes refer to the marks made with watercolour paint, characterized by their fluidity, transparency, and variability. These strokes are created using brushes loaded with diluted or concentrated pigment, allowing artists to achieve soft washes, gradients, and textured effects. The nature of watercolour strokes depends on brush pressure, stroke direction, and water-to-paint ratio, resulting in diverse visual expressions—from delicate washes to bold, textured lines. Mastery of these strokes enables artists to evoke mood, depth, and atmosphere, leveraging the unique qualities of watercolour to produce luminous and dynamic artworks.
