Limoges Boxes For The Artist

Of all the various painting media, including ols and acrylics, watercolor is by far the most convenient to work with.  It has the range and adaptability for almost any kind of painting situation or style.  All you need to get started is a small watercolor box, a brush, watercolor paper, and some water.  When you look at a watercolor painting, you can see how it was painted, as well as getting a sense of the artist throught the kinds of marks that have been made.  This is because the nature of the watercolor painting method is such that almost nother can be concealed in the painting.  A simple drawing can be transformed by the addition of a couple of dabs of color.

Paint brush Limoges boxes make delightful gifts for art enthusiasts

There are two main types of brushes those with soft hairs, like the sable, and those with harder hairs, like bristle brushes.  Soft hair brushes are more traditional for watercolor techniques, but bristle brushes are good for mixing up large amounts of color.  This sable brush Limoges box shows a watercolor device that is ready to wash in broad shapes with the body of the brush or dot in color with its tip.

Artists have been using water-soluble binding materials with pigments for centuries.  Watercolors give an effect of quality, breadth, and directness, and many looks can be achieved with just a limited range of colors.
