The Beauty Of Water Color Artists

By Celia Hall


Whether you are thinking of a gift or of trying to find a new hobby water color artist can be a great source of inspiration. The sweeping brush strokes and diluted colors allow people to find many different interpretations and meanings within the piece of art. They are ideal as a gift as it shows that you have put thought and time into choosing it.

In terms of value a great deal can be learned by studying this form of art. Artists throughout history have found that watercolors are particularly effective at allowing them to express what is in their hearts or even how the social climate is effecting them. Studying what other artists have created and allowing that to influence your own work is a wonderful way of learning new skills and perspectives.

In terms of money there are some people who find that they cannot appreciate a particular artist unless they are well known and have a large monetary value attached it the artwork. Unfortunately the monetary value of a piece is not always a good reflection of the level of skill that the artist has. However, art is a very subjective thing, so it is difficult to price an item as each individual will disagree on its worth.

Although there are numerous different types of painting, such as oil and acrylic, watercolors have the wonderful ability of allowing the painter to express honest emotion in a very fluid style. When painted with the emotions in mind a great deal can be transferred to the canvas. This allows an unlimited amount of interpretations to be found in the piece.

No matter how ingenious you are, if you want to twist the traditions of watercolors you need to know the basics of the artform first. This applies to many skills and is the best way to create new things. Learn what paper and brushes to use, how to paint landscapes and portraits. Once you have mastered the skill you can then use your knowledge to make something that has never been seen before.

If you are considering taking this up as a hobby or even a form of trade then there are many avenues that you can take. The choice you make will depend on your individual learning style. Some people find that they learn better from going to a class and interacting with other novice artists. However, some people prefer to learn in the comfort of their own home, from a book or DVD.

There will be many classes in your local area that teach watercolor painting as it is very popular with people of all ages. Choose a class based on the distance it is from you, as mileage is important, and the reviews that the course and teacher have got. Bear in mind the level of experience that the teacher has and the amount of hours you will be expected to put in.

If you are considering buying a piece for someone special or even for yourself then there are many places that you can look. Firstly decide whether you want the work of a particular water color artists or want a particular scene. Then look in local galleries and online stores to see if there is something suitable. If you buy it online then make sure that the shipping will take care not to damage the piece.
