From the author
Almost all of us painted watercolor in primary or high school. Unlike oil or traditional Japanese style, it does not require special training, special colors and devices. Any watercolor can work: enough colors, brushes and water. In other words, this is an affordable art.
But when you start working seriously, it suddenly turns out that the watercolor is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Those who have been writing oil for many years say: "The watercolor is complicated, because nothing can be fixed in it."
In order to correctly convey the forms and determine the ratio of light and shadow, the same skills are needed here as in other techniques. Despite the apparent simplicity, working with transparent paint and achieve an air and luminous effect in practice is not so easy.
