The medium of watercolour consists of finely ground pigments suspended traditionally in a binder such as gum Arabic which is obtained from acacia trees, later developments included the adding of honey, glycerine and syrup to retard drying and aid transparency.
The prime characteristic of water colour is its transparency and the ability to use the white of the paper to gain a luminosity to the washes of colour. A variety of techniques can be employed such as wet-on-dry, wet-on-wet and the use of a dry brush. Watercolour
