Watercolor Painting

Painting has been around for centuries. Before photography was invented, the wealthy hired artists to paint their portraits. Most of these portraits were painted with oil paint. Oil paint is easy to work with because mistakes can be covered up; however, there is one type of paint that cannot be fixed: watercolor. Because it is so hard to work with, many people believe you can only paint if you are artistically gifted. This is far from the truth. Anybody can watercolor if they are given the right information. In order to watercolor, you need to know what kind of paper, paint, and techniques to use in order to make your artwork appear professional.
