Watercolor painting involves using pigments suspended in a water-soluble medium. Close-color pictures refer to images that utilize colors that are similar or adjacent on the color wheel. A simple watercolor close-color picture would be one that uses a limited palette of colors that are closely related, creating a harmonious and easy-to-compose artwork. This style of painting is often favored for its quick and effortless application, as well as its ability to evoke a serene and calming aesthetic.
