Watercolor is a type of paint made from pigments suspended in a water-soluble binder, typically gum arabic. Watercolor paints are known for their transparent quality, which allows artists to layer washes of color to create depth and subtle gradients. They are usually applied to thick, absorbent paper and are popular for their fluidity and ability to create soft, flowing effects. Watercolors can be challenging to control, but their unpredictability often results in unique, vibrant textures.
