HIMI WATERCOLOUR PENCIL Set - 36 COLOURS
ABOUT WATERCOLOURS:
-
Watercolour (also called aquarelle) is a painting method where paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-based solution.
-
Watercolour paint consists of four main properties - watercolour pigment, gum Arabic (binder to hold the pigment), honey and preservatives.
-
The paints are diluted using water and the tonal values will vary from dark to light depending on the water mixed with the paint.
-
Watercolours are known for their transparency and appear more vivid than acrylics or oils because the pigments in watercolours are in a purer form.
-
It also comes in handy for Plein-air artists who love painting outdoors.
-
Watercolour works well with other mediums like coloured pencils and inks to create mixed media composition.
-
Watercolours are heavily water-based, as soon as two set colours touch, they begin to bleed into each other, which makes the blending process easy.
-
It also gives a translucent finish.
About Product:
-
Watercolour pencils are art supplies that combine the convenience of drawing with pencils and the beautiful effects of watercolours. They are essentially compressed pigment encased in a water-soluble binder, similar to regular-colorued pencils. But when water is applied, the pigment dissolves and creates a transparent wash, like watercolour paint.
