Discover Water Color Painting for all those who Love Playing with Colors



Painting in water colors is considered to be the most popular medium and it can be shared by a lot of people. Painting in watercolor is fun when you can find new opportunities for personal discovery, expression, and invention. Painting or drawing while traveling always makes the experience more rewarding, satisfying, and unforgettable. Professional watercolor paper is the basis for getting beautiful watercolor paintings, so remember this when selecting your watercolor paper.

Water color painting is for all those who love playing with colors and creating new and unique things out of these. It is experimentation with color, textures and form. The art of watercolor painting is rich in traditional techniques and formality. The difficulty in this type of painting is almost entirely in learning how to anticipate and use the behavior of water, rather than attempting to control or dominate it. When these water colors are mixed with other colors then they obtain a look that is different from others. It is perfect for those who are beginners as well as for those who are accomplished in this art. A traditional watercolor is executed with transparent watercolors with no opaque pigments used and the white of the paper serving as white paint. And today, fine art water color painting is a highly respected and much sought after, art form bringing high bids at art auctions around the world.

Acrylic paints are an another from of paint that was discovered in the 50’s and it gave rise to new forms of art that was loved by all. This medium aided artists in producing work at a much faster rate and made artists like Andy Warhol for instance, rise to fame, with his outlandish new style known as 'pop art'. In contrast others were hesitant to utilize this new form of painting given that acrylic paints have very unique qualities that are quite different from say oil or water color paints. The main difference between water colors and acrylic is that acrylic can be applied on a variety of surfaces. These include, canvas, paper, glass and plastic. It is a fast drying medium (compared to oil paint) and can be painted over when dry. When used thickly, it has an opaque quality. Acrylic paint can be thinned with water or a special medium available at art supply stores. Transparent overlays are not possible with acrylic, and they are with watercolor.

Water colors can be less expensive and there is a wide range from which one can choose from like Golden Heavy body Acrylic, Fabriano Water color Studio, Schmincke Akademie Acryl etc. It is very important to use a good quality paper, and this is an added cost to consider.
