Exploring Water Colours

Our "What is Art?" group meet today to explore watercolors.  Most of us were exposed to water colours growing up.  You may remember the dry colour circles you added water too when we were growing up.


These during my research this week are known as dry water colours.  Water colours also come in tubes.


I enjoyed playing with water colours day.  Shading is a simple process with water colours as to lighten the shade we just add water and the outline can be darken by a thinker mixture of the paint. While we were adjusting to the medium we used squares to block in and gradually a few of us did hibiscus flowers. A perfect practice session in shading.
