Watercolor Paint Box

Watercolor is more extensive and varied than any other method of painting. Transparent watercolor allows a freshness and brightness in its wash, as well as a neat calligraphic touch that makes it the most alluring medium. There is one basic difference between transparent watercolor and other heavy painting media--its transparency. An oil painter can paint an opaque color on top of another color until he achieves the desired effect. White is opaque white. Watercolor painters do the opposite. In essence, instead of adding content, he ignored it. White paper creates white.  When the pigment flows out of the test tube or is mixed with only a small amount of water, it can appear on the paper in its blackest hues. Otherwise, the color will be diluted by water. The more water washed, the greater the paper's effect on color; For example, cinnabar, a warm red, will gradually turn cold pink as it is diluted with more water.
