	Watercolor painting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Watercolor (or watercolour also known as aquarelle) is a painting technique using paint made of colorants suspended or dissolved in water.
		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 proponents prize it as a studio medium for its lack of odor and ease of cleanup, and also as a plein air medium for its portability and quick drying.

		Koser served two terms as president of the transparent watercolor society, Watercolor West, and is now a life member and member of the Board of Directors.

	Watercolor paintings by award winning watercolor artist Wayne Roberts
		Other books on watercolor that inspired my first steps in the medium were by Lee Weiss, and Barbara Nechis.
		Rather, the white in watercolors is simply the ground of the paper itself.
		In this sense, watercolor is akin to sculpture: the artist sculpts away parts of the white of the paper with the colors and has to in a sense paint the negative aspect of light.
