vesivärimaalaukseen
Vesivärimaalaus, often referred to as watercolor painting, is an artistic technique that utilizes pigments suspended in a water-soluble vehicle. The primary binding agent is typically gum arabic, which allows the pigment to be diluted with water and applied to a surface, most commonly paper. The translucent nature of watercolors means that light passes through the pigment layers and reflects off the white of the paper, contributing to the characteristic luminosity of the medium.
The technique involves a delicate balance of water and pigment. Artists can control the flow and opacity
The history of watercolor painting dates back to ancient times, with examples found in Egyptian tomb paintings
