Transparent watercolor is characterized by high color transparency, deep color and strong layering when colors are superimposed. When drawing transparent watercolors, you don't use white pigments, but use the colors of auxiliary materials (watercolor paper, etc.). ) used in painting is created as white. Although the number of colors of pigments is small, averaging more than a dozen colors, the use of mixed colors can satisfy any sketch creation. In addition, even if the names of colors are the same, if the brands are different, the lightness of colors will be different (the pigments made from local special soil have different origins and colors), so it is also a kind of enjoyment and promotion to mix new colors by adding or subtracting pigments or mixing various colors.

Transparent watercolor pigments are mainly divided into two types: solid watercolor pigments packed in cylindrical pigment boxes and dry blocks;

Low-tube watercolor painting is small in pigment, which gives people the feeling that it is more expensive. But the pipe pigment is soluble in water when used, so it takes a long time to use.

● Dry block solid watercolor pigments are very suitable for tourism. Even just looking at these rich and bright colors, we can't help but get excited.

Second, opaque watercolor pigments.

Gouache pigment has many pigments, high hiding power (the ability to hide the underlying color), and a heavy feeling like oil color, which is conducive to coloring.

Although acrylic pigment is water soluble, it will lose its water solubility as long as the colored layer is dry, and it will not crack and fall off even if the colored layer is thick. You need to put the brush and palette on the wet towel to prevent them from drying out.
