The Colours The most noticeable characteristic of water-colours is their glazing feature. Even when heavily diluted, genuine watercolours retain their colour-intensity and brilliance. Crimson, for example, is regarded as one of the traditional water-colours which is particularily suited to the most delicate brush-work and also retains its brilliancedespite being diluted.

The classic water-colour technique is characterised by leaving areas of the painting surface unpainted. Marder abd Jax-Hair brushes are recommended for water-colour painting.

Water-colour paper is mainly used as it is available in a range of diffently structured surfaces.
