Everything Papercraft - Watercolour



Watercolour is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water soluble binder.  In modern times, watercolour paints are sold in a wide variety of forms including pencils, cakes, bottles of liquid and pigment pads.

Paper-crafters generally use watercolour pigments on stamped images or apply them directly to watercolour paper with a brush or pencil.  The colour can be considerably softened or diluted with the addition of more water, or intensified with the addition of more pigment.  This helps to give coloured images a shaded or shadowed look.
