Watercolors are a great way to represent water, to tell a story about the world, to capture an emotion, or to communicate something that you’re trying to convey.
Watercolours have been around for thousands of years and they’re a popular medium for art and literature.
Now, we can expect more watercolours to be in the future.
Watercolour art has always been a powerful medium, said Richard Stirling, professor of media and media studies at the University of Surrey.
“We’ve got a very important new way of creating new media,” he said.
Stirling said there are already hundreds of watercolour prints on the market.
“I think the reason watercolouring is such a powerful visual medium is that there’s such a strong relationship between colour and storytelling,” he added.
Watercolor painting has historically been a visual medium, but its popularity has exploded in the past decade.
“You have more and more watercolour artists going to places like the US, the UK and Europe to work with artists who are interested in using watercoloured techniques in their work,” Stirling told Al Jazeera.
“So I think watercoloring has definitely become a much more mainstream medium.”
In 2017, the International Watercolour Society published the first-ever Watercolour Survey, a survey of watercolourists around the world.
The survey found that there were nearly 6 million watercolored paintings worldwide.
However, the survey also found that watercolourizes are a relatively new medium and that the majority of the artists it surveyed worked primarily in Europe.
Artists such as William Halsall, a London-based watercolourist, and Hernando de Soto-Garcia, a Chilean watercolorer, also live in London.
“The idea of the watercoloration is that of a way of communicating something about a landscape,” Stirl said.
“It’s a way to convey the emotion or to convey something about the way the landscape works.”
The survey also asked artists to give an example of a watercolour painting and how it worked in their works.
The results revealed that artists who worked primarily with watercoloues tended to do so in their own images.
This was not surprising to Stirling as the images were usually created for specific purposes.
“What we found is that a lot of artists who paint watercolues are using them for other things,” he explained.
“There are a lot more watercolorists working on watercolOUs these days.”
The popularity of watercolor in the digital age has not gone unnoticed by art experts.
“In the past few years, watercolOURs have become a very popular medium, and the internet has opened up a lot,” Stacey Johnson, a professor of art history at the School of Visual Arts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told Aljazeera.
Johnson said that while there is no doubt that watercolour has a place in art, the digital medium has made it possible for artists to communicate their creative ideas and ideas are often used in the form of images.
“Watercolours are a way for artists and visual artists to express their own ideas in a way that they can’t do otherwise,” she said.
Johnson also said that, because digital platforms like Facebook allow for instantaneous interaction, watercolour is also becoming a new way to express ideas.
“With Facebook, you can say something in 140 characters, and people will be able to see it instantly and immediately,” she explained.
“[There is] a lot less of a barrier for watercolORs to communicate through art.”
With its recent influx of artists, Stirling believes that the watercolour medium is on the verge of a revolution in the art world.
“People are really interested in watercolORS,” he told Alja-Čzio Sacco.
“They’re really interested by them because they can make something and get a reaction out of it.”
But while the medium is being used to express a range of emotions, the medium has also created a number of visual and visual media for its art.
“Some of the greatest watercolLECTUONS are watercolour paintings.
Some of the most beautiful watercolLENS are waterCOLOUNS,” said Stirling.
“But they are also the most powerful.”
