Watercolor Painting: How to paint in watercolor for novice

By John Karl

Watercolor is a method of painting in which pigments are suspended in water. Watercolor is both the medium as well as the artwork. Watercolor papers are the most popular support. This is used to apply paint to watercolor paintings. Other supports include Papyrus and bark papers. These papers have a GSM of 200 to 300 and are often cold-pressed. Watercolors appear translucent because they are made from pure pigments with very few types of filler. You can make watercolors opaque by using Chinese white. Watercolor painting is an ancient art form. Watercolor painting using inks is known as scroll painting in East Asia. It has been the predominant medium in Chinese and Korean. India, Ethiopia, and other countries also have a long history of watercolor painting. American artists of the 19th century viewed watercolor as a tool for sketching, in preparation for oil or engraving
