Watercolor  
"Definition"
1. Paint in which water is the solvent of the binding material.  2. Painting in this "medium" 

What is a medium? 
The most concise answer is that a medium is any material used for expression in art.

"You are blending the paper and color pigments together to create a whole new unique medium which becomes a fusion of water, fibers, pulp, color, and inspiration"

            Getting Started - Painting

 We will guide you through the concepts needed to produce different effects in your watercolor paintings.  Visit our forum to get a list of materials you will need.  Then read some of the blog posts and pick your first subject.  I recommend a landscape painting and just a few limited colors to work from.  Don't be affraid to experiment.  Start with sketching your painting out first then choose your colors.

 Watercolor Art Tip #19 

Composition: What is it?
Every time you paint or draw a picture, you create a world that's all your own.  It may be a sunlit landscape, a portrait, a bold abstraction.  It may be fanciful or realistic, sad angry, amusing.  It may be anything at all and in any style or medium. 

Composition is the art of arranging in a decorative manner the various elements at the painter's disposal for the expression of feeling.  You compose your pictures in a way that you think best says what you feel.
