Watercolour technique

Watercolour technique involves using water-soluble paints that create transparent layers of color on paper. Artists typically use a brush to apply these paints, allowing for blending and variation in intensity. The transparency means that light can pass through the layers, giving a luminous quality to the artwork. Techniques include wet-on-wet, where wet paint is applied to wet paper for soft edges, and wet-on-dry, where wet paint is applied to dry paper for sharper details. Watercolour is known for its fluidity and spontaneity, making it a popular choice for capturing landscapes, portraits, and still life.
