Watercolour is a painting technique using paint made of colorants suspended or dissolved in water. Although the grounds used in watercolour painting vary, the most common is paper. Others include papyrus, bark papers, plastics, leather, fabric, wood, and canvas.

It can be used for several purposes - for rapid sketching, for finished paintings or for highly finished illustrations.

It also responds well to different approaches so
if your natural inclination is for bold splashy colour, you will enjoy it, but it can also be used in a more controlled way.

Watercolour has a fresh, glowing translucency which many artists find irresistible.
It is an exciting and flexible medium with something to offer for everyone.
