Watercolor Quotes

Perhaps watercolour is more art than acrylics or oil, because the opportunity to correct errors is very limited as the colours are transparent… The sun, wind and temperature influences water-pigment-paper!! Everything flows, painting with watercolors!’ Adriana Buggino

A photograph to me is always a reminder of how the person was on a certain day in that certain light fixed. When I look at a watercolor of that same person, it seems to me alive, more open than a photograph.’ Francesco Clemente

To create amazing watercolor paintings, artists have to explore several watercolor techniques essential to creating great watercolor paintings.

Many of these watercolor techniques are not new. They have been around for decades. In fact, many famous watercolor artists have used some of these techniques for their important paintings. Artists like Winslow Homer, John Singer Sergeant, John La Farge, Thomas Moran, and William Trost Richards are just a few examples
