What is it?
Watercolor is paint made from colored powder and a water-soluble binder. You add water to make it flow. It is often used on paper. Because it is transparent, you can see the paper through the paint. Artists use watercolor to make soft, light paintings. It is great for painting flowers, skies, and landscapes.
