Watercolors are unique
original paintings. A mixture of pigments, gum
Arabic, and preservatives are used to create the
images. These paints are applied using varying
amounts of solvent-water. They can be applied dry,
wet on wet, dry on wet, or in any combination of
fluidity.
The white in a transparent
watercolor comes from the paper. No white pigments
are used. White pigments tend to be cloudy and
opaque, interfering with the special quality of
transparent colors. These colors must be applied
surely, quickly and yet with control to avoid
becoming "muddy".
When you purchase an
original watercolor you are buying a one of a kind
original. How long does an original take to
create.? Years of study, often days of drawing,
sometimes only moments to spoil.
