What is a watercolor?

Watercolor is a painting method in which water is used as a medium to blend watercolor pigments. It is a painting technique that uses pigments mixed in water to create translucent, fluid colors that are applied to paper. Watercolor painting is often associated with a delicate, ethereal style of painting, but it can also be used to create bold, impactful pieces. Watercolors are typically painted on paper or other absorbent surfaces.
