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.

Therefore, watercolor painting is not suitable for large-scale works, but suitable for fresh and lively small paintings such as landscapes.
