Watercolour is painting with coloured pigment floating in water. Unlike oil or acrylic, or most drawing material, it’s not simply mixing colour and placing it where you want it. You’re also allowing the water to move the colour on it’s own.  There’s no other kind of painting, where the colour moves on it’s own!
