Watercolor is a term used to describe a style of painting that uses water-based paints to create luminous and semi-transparent imagery on paper. There are two types of techniques employed in watercolor, including wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry. The wet-on-wet technique is as it sounds, an action in which the painter applies wet paint to a wet surface which makes the colors run together. Meanwhile, the wet-on-dry technique is when wet paint is applied to dry parchment. Under the latter the colors don’t run together, but they maintain soft brushed edges are not constrained by defined lines and borders. In tattooing, each watercolor technique can be applied to skin and when done right the result is truly lustrous. It can be completed as an abstract, but it is most eye-catching when done to highlight a fine line, sketch-style, and/or a moderately-minimalist tattoo. Despite the potential for an incredible aesthetic, it is a highly specialized style that few local Toronto area studios can do much less claim specialization in.
