Water Color Paintings - Delicate Beauty
Water color paintings are popular
artworks that are characterized by their beautiful yet delicate nature. This style of
painting began soon after the invention of the paper by the Chinese in 100 A.D.
These paintings are done on a particular type of paper and are widely known for their brilliant use of colors. Paintings in water color are just as diverse as the artists that create them. Each painting has a unique style that captures the distinctive technique of the individual artist.
This style of
painting spread across the world from China, reaching far away countries in Europe like Spain and Italy. It gave rise to the predecessor of
water
color
painting in Europe known as buon fresco
painting that is outstandingly exemplified in the
artworks of the Sistine Chapel.
In Asia, Japanese landscape paintings done in water color were also greatly influenced by the Chinese. Painters in Japan emulated the painting techniques and subject matter employed by Chinese painters but added their own personal touch to create unique artworks that were truly Japanese. Caring for Water Color Paintings
Despite their beauty,
paintings done in
water
color are quite fragile and require special care. These
paintings are easily damaged when exposed to various factors that could make the colors of the artwork fade easily.
It is best to keep these types of paintings away from direct sunlight and free from dust and dirt. In addition, minimal contact with the frame's glass surface is essential to avoid trapping moisture within the frame that can damage the paper and the painting.
If you plan to keep your
water
color
painting in storage, use acid-free paper to sandwich the
painting to keep out dirt and dust. Store it in a cool, dark place on a flat surface to avoid wrinkle the paper.
