Watercolour paints, with their vibrant and translucent characteristics, have been a favourite medium for many artists around the world. Unlike acrylics or oils, watercolours are water-soluble, making them an excellent choice for beginners who are still learning to control their brush strokes. But even for seasoned artists, the versatility and unpredictability of watercolours offer a unique charm. The Sydney Art Store offers a wide variety of watercolour paints, each with different properties and effects that can add depth and dimension to your artwork. Understanding the nature of these paints and how to use them effectively is the first step to mastering this art form.
Techniques to Master for Watercolour Painting:
There are several techniques that you can employ to create stunning watercolour paintings. Wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, glazing, and lifting are some of the most commonly used techniques in watercolour painting. Wet-on-wet involves applying wet paint onto a wet surface, while wet-on-dry involves applying wet paint onto a dry surface. Glazing is a technique where layers of transparent paint are applied over a dried area of paint, creating a luminous effect. Lifting, on the other hand, involves removing wet or dry paint to lighten an area of the painting. Mastering these techniques can significantly improve your watercolour paintings.

Using watercolour paints effectively requires some practice and patience. One important tip is to always start with lighter colours and gradually move to darker shades. This is because unlike acrylics, watercolours are transparent and it's difficult to cover dark colours with light ones. Another tip is to use the right kind of brush for different techniques. For example, round brushes are great for general painting and detail work, while flat brushes are perfect for washes. The Sydney Art Store provides a plethora of options for brushes suited for different techniques and styles.
