I really like to draw with watercolor paint, because the drawings are soft and gentle. Most of us watercolor is known from a small age, it is it that we draw our first drawings. However, after seeing the work of the masters of watercolor painting, we froze in amazement at their splendor, amazed that this can be done with the usual colors for us.

Watercolor is known since ancient times. She was painted in Ancient Egypt, India and China. Medieval miniatures, painted in watercolor, refute the stereotype of the fragility of this material. Chinese watercolor painting strikes with its harmonious beauty and originality.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR WATERCOLOR PAINTING:

1. Artistic watercolor paints
2. Watercolor paper in A4 or A3 format, density 250 - 300 g / m2.
3. The tablet can be made by taking a glass, a piece of plywood or hardboard. This is necessary to fix the paper on it.
4. Fine-sharpened simple pencil TM (hard-soft) and eraser for erasing, better eraser-nag. This eraser, reminiscent of plasticine, is ideal for watercolor paper, as it does not injure its surface.
5. Sticky tape, buttons or clips to fix a sheet of paper on the tablet. This will not allow watercolor paper to warp.
6. Clean water in two containers: for washing the brushes and for diluting the paint. Usual cheap plastic palette of white color with deepenings, for mixing of necessary tones and colors of paint.
7. Rags or paper towels, for wiping away excess moisture and paint from brushes.
8. Brushes that are suitable for watercolors. That is: protein, ponies, columns, synthetics for clarifying lines, bristles for reception "dry brush", wide flutes for soaking and toning paper. If you are going to draw on the A4 or A3 format, then for the beginning you can limit the brush size to 2,3,6. The shape of the brushes is flat and round. You can buy a round "one" for thin lines, but this is not necessary. With watercolor work mostly with a squirrel or a column. Brushes from this type of hair collect a lot of water and it is given to paper well, that for watercolor painting is very important.
