Texture and Interest:The Creative Expression of"Water"Elements in Contemporary Chinese Watercolor Painting
As the name suggests,watercolor painting is a form of painting that uses"water"as a medium."Water"is the key element that defines watercolor's unique artistic characteristics,distinguishing it from other forms of painting.The fluidity and transparency of water shape watercolor's distinctive art forms.The interaction between water and color results in variations and transformations during the creative process,leading to the wonder and uniqueness of watercolor painting.The presence of water without color draws the painting closer to ink painting,while color without water resembles oil painting.The dispersion and cohesion of water produce a natural artistic effect in watercolor.As watercolor evolves and the expression of the"water"element diversifies,both the form and content of its representation have become richer.In the interplay between water and pigments,contemporary watercolor art exhibits diverse possibilities,particularly in the expression of unique textures and oriental aesthetic interest.
