Watercolour is a painting method in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-soluble vehicle, traditionally applied to paper to achieve translucent colour effects.

Traditional watercolours utilised ground pigments mixed with gum arabic, applied to handmade rag paper or waterleaf paper, often housed behind glass within wooden frames.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate paper types with watermarks, hand-mixed pigments showing natural ageing, artist signatures, and historic framing methods lacking modern synthetic materials.

Positioning the artwork on a neutral wall allows the subtle tones of the painting to stand out, while pairing it with simple, understated frames bridges traditional subject matter with contemporary decor.

Watercolours should be displayed away from direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading and kept in environments with controlled humidity to avoid paper degradation and foxing.
