Painting is a very broad art with a lot of sub categories like oil painting, watercoloring and many more. Now out of all of the variations, probably the most interesting of all these variations would be watercoloring because it is one of the easiest versions. Now a painter who does this is known as a watercolorist and this is the whole process he will take when he makes his painting.
The key to a very nice painting would be knowing the right amount of water to use. As a watercolor painter, one must know how to be able to play around with the amount of water that will be mixed with the paint. So aside from having his palette besides him, he must also have a supply of water too.
Now in order to officially start the process, one will begin by getting out his canvas, and wetting the paper with some water. The entire paper in the canvas will be soaked with water in order for the painting to have the fading effect that is unique to watercolor paintings. One has to get a big brush and use it to wet the entire paper.
Once one has done this, then the next step would be to paint the background of the painting. The first thing to do here would be to get some paint and start mixing it will a significant amount of water. If one would paint with this type of mix, then there will be a fading effect that is produced.
Once the background has already been painted, then the thing to do here would be to allow the canvas to dry up a little bit. Now if he would paint over a wet canvas, there is a big possibility that the newly added paint will get too wet and start running. Other than that, the background will look better once it dries.
After the drying of the canvas, the next step would now be to create the actual picture. Now this will be the part of the process where in one will be playing around with the amount of water that will be used. So the first step would be to scoop some paint with the brush, dip a little bit of water into it, then paint it on the background.
Another key element here would be to try out shades and color mixtures by playing with the paint and the water. For a thin shade, one will have to use more water. It goes vice versa for for a thick shade as one will have to use less water in order to have a thicker and fuller paint quality.
So if one is interested in becoming a watercolorist, then these are some of the basic techniques that he will be learning along the way. In fact, these steps are actually the most basic and every artist in this field will have to go through them. Of course there are more advanced techniques that will be learned later on.
