Many people shy away from using watercolor because they fear that it is too difficult to control. While it is true that watercolor is a medium that is challenging to master, it is very easy and economical to get started, and once you do, you will find that it becomes less daunting as you progress.

All you really need to begin is paint, water, and a brush. It is really that simple. Whether you choose to use watercolor as your primary artistic medium, or whether you use it primarily as studies for oil or acrylic paintings, the rewards of this challenging and somewhat unpredictable medium are great.
