What is great about watercolor painting techniques is that the medium calls for relatively few materials that are inexpensive in comparison to other visual art forms. The medium materials:

• Can be purchased almost anywhere;
• Are easy to transport;
• Store well over long periods of time if properly sealed; and
  
• Can be cleaned easily.

Finished watercolor paintings, like other water-based mediums, dry quickly and can be readily stored without damaging the dried surface. Watercolor does not smudge or dust off like pencils, crayons, charcoal, and pastels. All of which makes watercolor a particularly convenient medium when working outdoors as well as in your home or studio.
