What is watercolor painting?

Watercolor is a painting method of mixing transparent pigments with water, which is called watercolor for short. Because the color is transparent, one layer of color can cover another layer, which can produce special effects. But too much mixing or covering will make the color dirty and the water will dry quickly. Therefore, watercolor painting is not suitable for large-scale works, but suitable for fresh and lively small paintings such as landscapes.

Watercolor pigments are easy to carry and can also be used as materials for sketching and collection. Compared with other paintings, watercolor painting pays great attention to expression. Its painting methods are usually divided into "dry painting" and "wet painting".
