  1. watercolour

    Watercolour is a type of painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-based solution. This technique typically creates a soft, transparent effect and is often used for landscapes, portraits, or still-life. Watercolour paintings are usually characterized by its washes or translucent layers, allowing light to reflect off the surface of the paper, thereby giving a luminous quality to the artwork.
