What is Watercolor Art?

What makes watercolor unique is its transparency and unpredictability. Unlike opaque mediums like oil or acrylic, watercolor allows light to pass through the pigment and reflect off the white paper beneath, creating a luminous quality that is difficult to replicate. AI watercolor generation captures these characteristics, including granulation, wet-on-wet blending, and the soft edges that define the medium.
