In many cases, watercolor painting is created with brushes; however, not every artist is the same and prefers their own techniques.
The basic techniques include:
- Washes are used to:
- Gradually change the color
- Fading of colors
- a unique blend of variegated blends
- Wet in Wet is used to prevent hard edges at the margin of the paint. The paint is allowed to flow on a wet surface.
- Dry Brush is when the artist prefers a rough or textured appearance.
- Glazes are used to create a combined color by using a different color glaze, which are placed in layers on the painting.
Artists use the basic techniques to create their own style by using different methods to make various styles.
