Features: Watercolor painting is a type of color painting made with water and gum-based powdered pigments. It can absorb the thin-layer techniques of watercolor painting, achieving bright and swift results, or it can be used like oil painting to create thick and detailed portrayals. It can be used for realistic depictions as well as decorative expressions, demonstrating strong expressive capabilities. Watercolor painting tools are simple, and the process is easy to create. The high purity and strong covering power of watercolor pigments make them easy to modify, thus expanding the wide range of applications for watercolor painting. It can be used to create New Year pictures, sequential illustrations, promotional advertisements, stage backdrops, book cover designs, architectural illustrations, interior design renderings, and the design and production of various handicrafts. Watercolor painting is both an independent form of art and a means of color training. It is a compulsory subject for beginners in color and those applying to art schools.
