The most significant characteristic of watercolour is its transparent quality. A design or under-drawing can be made using a brush loaded with a thin neutral colour such as an umber, or in light pencil with subsequent washes of colour laid over the top. Colours are thinned with water, the more water added the more transparent the wash will be.
