Watercolor Paint is a mixture of Gum Arabic and pigment, Artist quality watercolor contains nothing more. Watercolor is water soluble, meaning that it mixes and cleans up with water. Unlike Oil and Acrylic Paints that dry permanent, Watercolor is resoluble, meaning that once dry, if moistened, it can become fluid paint anew. Watercolor is designed to function on paper, though many newer substrates have become accessible. Watercolor dries relatively fast and was originally thought to be a sketching medium, though with the pigments, papers, and other substrates available it has become a permanent means of finished artwork.

We are a group of artists, working in many mediums and processes. Our hope for this blog is that it will set up a dialogue about art mediums. With the knowledge and resources we hold, and with the interaction of the talented artists and art materials manufacturers there is no question that can or should go unanswered. Please feel free to post questions or comments that can fuel the exchange of artistic knowledge! We WILL find and supply accurate answers! When we find new information that should be known by the art community we will post links, quotes, and posts to ensure that all who are interested can obtain that information in a legible format. Thanks and see you soon!
