Watercolor paint is a type of paint made from pigments suspended in a water-based solution. It is known for its transparency and ability to create soft, flowing colors. Artists often use watercolor paper to absorb the paint and allow for blending and layering techniques. This medium is popular among both beginners and experienced artists due to its versatility and ease of use. Watercolor brushes are specially designed to hold water and paint, enabling smooth application. The final artwork can range from delicate washes to vibrant, detailed pieces, making it a favorite for landscapes and portraits.
