I sometimes like to paint with watercolors. Do you as well?
Yes. I like paints from a water based solution.
Do you know any interesting facts about them?
Watercolor refers to the medium and resulting artwork.
When did watercolors first become popular?
However, this term has been more and more passing out of use.
The traditional and most common "support"—material to which the paint is applied—for watercolor paintings is paper. Other supports include papyrus, bark papers, plastics, vellum, leather, fabric, wood and canvas. Watercolor paper is often made entirely or partially with cotton. This gives the surface the appropriate texture and minimizes distortion when wet. Watercolors are usually translucent, and appear luminous because the pigments are laid down in a pure form with few fillers
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."”
