Watercolor - styles and technique
Watercolour painting, a centuries-old technique, is characterized by the special transparency and luminosity of the colors applied to damp paper. It is versatile and is suitable for fine details as well as large areas, with effects ranging from pastel to bright and vibrant, depending on the paper, brush and colors. However, this technique requires experience, as the transparency of the colors makes difficult corrections and precise work necessary.
Styles
In realism, the painter strives to reproduce reality as accurately as possible, which requires talent, patience and precision.
In Impressionism, the focus is on light and color, with short, emotional brushstrokes and bold colors, often with an emphasis on texture.
Expressionism expresses emotions and moods through bright colors and distorted forms.
Abstract art dispenses with recognizable objects and concentrates on colors, shapes and structures.
Pop art depicts everyday objects and pop culture with clear lines and bright colors.
Surrealism shows unusual, dream-like scenes that arise from the imagination and subconscious.
