I am learning how to paint with watercolors; paints made of pigments suspended in a water-based solution.
Oh interesting.  It is quite a skill.  I cant paint at all.  What kinds of things will you paint?
Right now, my paintings are naturalistic like fields of flowers, instead of photographic or abstract.
Are there any famous artists that used watercolours?
Monet and Manet used watercolors.  I think that's why I paint flowers right now.
I love Monet.  i dont know very much about painting but I do love his work.
and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris.
Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. From 1883, Monet lived in Giverny, where he purchased a house and property and began a vast landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. In 1899, he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views
like the Provensens. Everything they did had a lot of experimentation going on. Like children who haven’t yet been told not to splatter ink onto their drawings, or not to mix oil paints with watercolors, or that the sky is blue, not green … [In my own paintings] from The Stinky Cheese Man I made the textures by combining oil paint with water-based varnishes. You’re not supposed to do that. It makes the paint bubble up like little pebbles."”
