Watercolor is a water-based paint in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments. It is packaged in a small cup or tube. It is diluted with water to give incomparable transparency effects.

How to use watercolor?
Watercolors can be used on blank paper, directly with a brush. You can also make a light pencil sketch beforehand.

Which medium to choose?
Paper is the main medium for watercolors, although canvases have now been sold for a few years.

We also usually choose a little grainy because this gives better results when the pigment is deposited. But watercolor can be used on smooth paper if desired.
