watercolor technique
Pigment and water
Watercolor technique refers to methods of applying water-based pigments to paper, typically involving transparency, layering, and controlled wetness.
Common techniques include wet-on-wet (applying paint to damp paper for soft edges), wet-on-dry (for crisp lines), glazing, and lifting.
Her watercolor technique emphasizes letting the white of the paper show through.
