Watercolor Paintings

Watercolor is all about the transparency and glow that you can achieve with this media that is not possible with other forms of art. With oil, you can build texture and add lights, with acrylic you can get the solid covering of a shape, but with watercolor, you can glaze layer upon layer and still have the luminosity and lacey edges.

With the ideal free flows and calligraphic brushwork, soft edges and dry strokes, artists have mastered the medium of watercolor to create iconic portraiture of people and scenic landscapes, realistic urbans capes and abstract paintings.

Possibly the most demanding form of painting that exists; the medium of watercolor is unpredictable and sensitive. The beauty of the medium lies in the transparency of the pigments when mixed with water giving it a fresh and radiant outcome. There exists no white in a watercolor palette; so the composition is always meticulously planned to leave patches of paper as a highlight.
