Watercolor is a painting medium in which pigments are suspended in a water-based solution. Watercolor paints come in a variety of forms, including tubes, pans, and liquid concentrates. They are typically applied to paper or other absorbent surfaces using a brush and water. The pigments are transparent, allowing the color of the paper to show through and creating a unique, luminous effect. Watercolor paints can be layered to create depth and dimension, and can be used to create a wide range of effects, from delicate washes to bold, expressive brushstrokes. Watercolor painting is suitable for both amateur and professional painters, and it is widely used in fine art, illustration, and calligraphy.
