Watercolor Paintings

With the ideal free flows and calligraphic brushwork, soft edges and dry strokes, artists have mastered the medium of watercolour to create iconic portraiture of people and scenic landscapes, realistic urbanscapes and abstract paintings. Possibly the most demanding form of painting that exists; the medium of watercolour is unpredictable and sensitive. The beauty of the medium lies in the transparency of the pigments when mixed with water giving it a fresh and radiant outcome. There exists no white in a watercolour palette; so the composition is always meticulously planned to leave patches of paper as a highlight. Famous artists who’ve used and experimented with watercolor to discover their unique styles include Joseph Redoute (botanical illustrations), Georg Dionysius Ehret (botanical illustrations), Edward Hopper, Paul Klee, Georgia O'Keeffe, John Singer Sargent, etc. Watercolor paintings will have to be framed with glass or acrylic to protect the work from moisture, dust and damage.
