The Atelier's Gallery

 


The Watercolor Gallery by Evelyn O. Bridges

Watercolor paint is made of finely-ground pigment or dye mixed with gum arabic for body, and glycerin or honey for viscosity and to bond the colorant to the painting surface. Watercolor (or watercolour, also known as aquarelle) is a painting technique using paint made of colorants suspended or dissolved in water. Although the grounds used in watercolor painting vary, the most common is paper.

 

  • The quality of the portrait depends on your photo. Up-close and clear photo is very important.
