Using Your Watercolor Materials
Learning how to use watercolor materials effectively can help you get the most out of watercolor painting. Many people try this art medium because it is relatively easier to master than working with other paint media. Watercolor paints dry very fast, which allows you to travel with your supplies and capture any scene in a short amount of time. Watercolor painting can be a very relaxing hobby, especially if you learn a few useful techniques.
Before you begin your painting, you should spend some time planning how you will execute it. Unlike working with acrylic or oil paints, watercolor paints are used from light to dark. Think about where you would like to have the lightest shades and where you will place the darker ones. Planning your piece doesn't take long and will prevent you from making frustrating mistakes.
Different watercolor materials such as paper and brushes also have different effects depending. The whiteness of the paper you use will be visible through the paint, so it's important to consider how bright you want your painting to be. The brighter the paper, the more brilliant your paint will look. This is great for dramatic pieces, but not if you want to paint a relaxing landscape.
If you are a beginner try larger brushes. You might be tempted to paint with a small brush on a small sheet of paper when you are just starting out. However, having a larger work area can help you develop better skills. You will have more freedom to experiment and you can analyze your work as you go about it. It's much easier to learn using large brushes and big sheets of paper. Once you are comfortable with using the brush to achieve the effect you want, you can easily work on paintings of all different sizes.
Try gripping your brush in different places. The way you hold your brush and the pressure you apply to paper can produce very different results. This way you can learn how to perfect your strokes to achieve the desired effect. You can take a blank sheet of paper and use it to practice, so that you know how to use your brush correctly when you are painting.
Experiment with using your watercolor materials in different ways. The most important thing in mastering watercolor painting is learning how your supplies and watercolor paints respond to different techniques. For example, various colors respond differently to water. Some colors can be very difficult to lighten while others begin to lighten as soon as they come into contact with water. The size of the brush as well as how you hold it also makes a big difference in your work. If you are a beginner, it is highly recommended that you practice as much as you can, so you can learn what techniques work best for you.

His Most Famous Painting (Impression Sunrise Or Impression, Soleil Levant) - Claude Monet
His "Impression Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant)" is counted among the most famous paintings in the world. Made in 1872, this painting gave the 'Impressionist' movement its name. This oil on canvas painting, measuring 48cm x 63cm (19" x 24 3/8"), gives a view of the Le Havre Harbor in France.
"Impression Sunrise" is, as mentioned above, instrumental in imparting 'Impressionism,' its identity. Although, it was painted somewhere around 1873, it is registered as an 1872 creation. Monet had once explained the title saying, "Landscape is nothing but an impression, and an instantaneous one, hence this label that was given us, by the way because of me. I had sent a thing done in Le Havre, from my window, sun in the mist and a few masts of boats sticking up in the foreground....They asked me for a title for the catalog, it couldn't really be taken for a view of Le Havre, and I said: Put Impression."
The debut exhibition of "Impression Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant)" was held in 1874. Louis Leroy, a critic inspired by the painting's name, wrote a negative review on it in Le Charivari newspaper titled, 'The Exhibition of the Impressionists,' thereby unknowingly christening the movement as 'Impressionist.' "Impression Sunrise" was once stolen in 1985 from the Museum in Paris, Musée Marmottan Monet. It was recovered in 1990 and was again put on display 1991, where it continues to stay until date. Not many references of this theft are available.
Monet was exceptional at both, his creative thoughts as well as his technique. In "Impression Sunrise," he canvassed the sun illuminating at par with the sky. There is no definite lineation involved. The whole picture is a riot of colors, applied with loose brushstrokes to give an 'Impression' of a sunrise. Claude brought the effect with the help of a variety of colors and different color temperatures, instead of exploiting their unique intensity or contrast values. The blurred colors "Impression Sunrise" draw a passage of time in the landscape captured. Monet used oil paints, as they dry slowly and allow the painter to mix and blend colors, while helping attain the required levels of viscosity and dilution on canvas, as and where required. Monet though, did not travel a lot, but whenever he did, he liked to paint in his journey. He claimed that he just painted what he could perceive in nature, which "Impression Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant)" vouched for.
