A Guide to Choosing Watercolor Paints For Beginners

Watercolor painting is a form of art that is both accessible and challenging, where the choice of your paints plays a pivotal role in determining the quality of your work. If you're just starting your painting journey or simply want to switch up your tools, you're in the right place. Let's dive into the colorful world of watercolor paints, figure out what makes them tick, and find out why MEEDEN tube watercolor paint could be your new best friends.

Watercolor paint is a delightful concoction of pigments suspended in a water-soluble binder. The quality of the paint depends on the quality of these pigments and the method used to mix and bind them. When it comes to selecting high-quality watercolor paints, there are several factors to consider:

  1. Pigment Quality: High-quality paints use pure, finely ground pigments. The quality of these pigments impacts the vibrancy and permanence of the colors. Always check the pigment information usually found on the paint's packaging.

  2. Lightfastness: This refers to a color's resistance to fading when exposed to light. High-quality paints generally have excellent lightfastness.

  3. Transparency: Good watercolor paint is typically transparent and allows light to reflect from the paper surface, giving the color luminosity.

  4. Granulation: Some artists prefer paints with granulation - the tendency to have a speckled appearance once dried. This is a matter of personal preference but can add depth and texture to your work.

  5. Consistency and Texture: High-quality watercolor paint has a fine consistency and does not feel gritty when applied to paper.

When you're just starting out with watercolor art, it's essential not to get too caught up in the vast array of options. Your main goal at this stage is to practice your techniques and develop an understanding of the medium. Therefore, investing in top-tier, professional-grade watercolors is not necessary.

That's why we're here to introduce you to an all-around great choice to kick-start your artistic journey - the MEEDEN 24-Color Tube Watercolor Paint Set.
