Water + watercolor paint + paper + paintbrush = watercolor painting

This simple formula indicates what you will need in order to start painting with watercolors and gives an idea of just how simple watercolor painting can be. There are lots of established rules about the traditional approaches that are considered the foundations of good watercolor painting. While it is useful to pay heed to some of these rules, they shouldnt make you hesitant.

Watercolor is familiar to us. If youve ever painted on paper, youve probably already used a water-based paint. The brush, loaded with water and pigment, easily transfers color to the paper surface. It is a playful medium and welcomes experimentation. Fluidity, drips, runs, and color blooms are all characteristic of watercolor paintings.

The aim of this book is to show a range of works of varying styles and levels of complexity, using watercolor, gouache, and acrylic paints, as well as ink. Some of the works are fairly immediate in execution while others were produced over a much longer period. The choices of brush, paper, and pigment are important factors in the production of the paintings and illustrations. Accompanying each work is a short exploration of the artists approach and the techniques used, so you can try some of the ideas out too.

Watercolor work is as technique intensive as you want it to be. It can be immediate and portable and produce traditional or contemporary outcomes that are delicate or robust, richly colorful or subtle. If you are a beginner, take things slowly and enjoy each stage of discovery. If youre more advanced, try out something new.
