Watercolor paintings are known for their soft, dreamlike appearance that’s a result of the watercolor paints gently mixing together. While these paintings can be detailed, the lines are soft as the colors tend to blend just a bit. Abstract watercolor paintings are a popular choice because they often feature a gradient of different hues and can be a beautiful but understated way to bring a pop of color into your space. If you’d like to create a relaxing environment in your bedroom or bathroom, an abstract or blue watercolor painting is a calming choice. Watercolor paintings can also depict portraits and scenes. These types of paintings can create a focal point in a larger room or be used in a gallery wall.
