Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting technique that uses transparent water-soluble pigments applied to paper or other surfaces. Watercolor is known for its lightness and transparency, allowing artists to create delicate gradients and light shades. This technique requires a certain dexterity, as the slightest intervention can ruin the painting.

Famous artists such as William Turner used watercolor to create unusual atmospheric landscapes. It is also important to note that watercolor allows for quick capture of impressions, making it ideal for plein air painting. Fascinating open-air drawing sessions have captivated many artists, creating works directly under the open sky!
