Abstract Watercolor Painting Techniques

Watercolor painting is a distinctive medium, straddling the worlds of painting and drawing to create a unique art form. Paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-soluble medium and can be applied to everything from paper to canvas, and from wood to fabrics. What makes watercolor painting so unique is its unforgiving nature;
lines, colors, and forms must be applied perfectly the first time around, as an attempt to paint over simply renders the entire effect muddied.
