What types of watercolor are there?
You can find stick, liquid, watercolor pencils and markers. In this guide we focus on the two most used in Fine Arts: pans (godets) and tubes.
Pans are bound, pressed and dry pigments; they come in boxes and can be bought in sets or individually. They are light, portable and perfect for painting outdoors.
Tubes are wet, thick paint, ideal for large formats and fine details, as they let you mix large amounts of color easily.
