For the watercolor painting beginners, to choose the right painting material is the first step to start learning.

Whether transparent or opaque watercolor paints, the basic composition of oil paints, Chinese painting pigments and painting materials is almost the same. It is common to name the paints according to different glue agents or pigment quantity and quality. "Paint" is the basic color particle of painting tools, which is formed by the mineral crushing, grinding into fine particles. The adhesive agent for these substances (agent) kneading is formed for painting pigments together. "Solvent" is for relaxation and extension of cementing agent, making it become the easy coating material. So as the solvent, there is one of the basic conditions that are not to completely evaporate.

Propylene pigment is water-soluble, but as long as the colored layer is dry, it loses water soluble. Even if the painting color layer is thick, it will not crack off. It is necessary to put the brush and palette in the wet towel, preventing them from getting dry.
