Watercolour painting is the practice of applying water plus pigment into a surface, usually watercolour paper. The pigment/paint is commonly applied with a brush. It can be a great fun and an enjoyable experience. It’s a very relaxing and a satisfying process, where you can see yourself getting better and better with time by practicing a bit every day.
