Its transparency allows for layering that produces unique lighting effects. This technique requires precision and control, as every gesture and amount of water influence the final result. Watercolors appeal to collectors for their spontaneity, chromatic variety, and ability to capture the atmosphere of a scene with accuracy. On Artsper, the watercolor painting category brings together works in varied styles, from abstraction to figuration.

Contemporary artists use watercolor to explore new visual approaches and experiment with the medium's fluidity. It allows for work on subjects ranging from landscapes to portraits, including geometric compositions.
