THE PAPER 11.11.2010

The watercolourist technique consists of taking a pigmented drop of water on paper to represent different shapes; this technique is also used with wine, which slips and stands out easily on pa- per. It is worth saying that although the same technique is used with both ele- ments, their reactions when applying them are totally different. The wine re- quires a good watercolourist technique base to master it.
