That's not really a medium known for its sharp edges and fine details.
- zozbot234 3y agoYes, the point is that given any level of detail the water-color picture is a lot sharper than the Gaussian-blur equivalent, which is like putting a pane of frosted glass over the picture.
- ralferoo 3y agoMaybe not, but if you were to compare a low-resolution scan and a high-resolution scan of the painting, you'd easily see the difference.
- watercolorblind 3y agoYeah, it's a medium that is not known for fine details given everyone's experience with it in school growing up, and the landscape/flower paintings that are common at art festivals; however, that does not mean that is all that can be done with the medium. Some artists pursue photo-realism [1]. Using something like a heavier weight (takes more layers), hot press (smoother grain) watercolor that makes it easier to add finer sharper, details. Additionally, there are mixing mediums [2] that allow changing application in different ways and there is masking fluid which helps preserve a sharp edge when working on multiple layers. There is a variety of media that is "watercolor" as well: watercolor pencils, water soluble pastels, opaque watercolors, watercolor markers, and granulating watercolors. 1: https://doodlewash.com/guest-artist-photorealism-watercolors-meeta-dani/ https://doodlewash.com/guest-artist-photorealism-watercolors... 2: https://www.art-is-fun.com/watercolor-mediums https://www.art-is-fun.com/watercolor-mediums
