Watercolour painting can be done with great spontaineity or painstaking care. The colours are applied in translucent layers that seem to flow from within as the light reflects off the paper and passes back through the colours themselves.
The working procesure for watercolour paints is always from light to dark, the lightest being the area of the paper that is left unpainted. In contrast to opaque painting methods, there is little opportunity for corrections here.
With quality watercolour papers such as Arches,Saunders Waterford, Fabriano, Two Rivers and Bockingford the pigments do not penetrate into the paper, but adhere to the fibers on the surface. Good results are thus dependent not only on good colours, but also on the quality of the paper.
