Vocabulary:

Contrast- The difference between two parts in a work, possibly the difference between colors or the painted and masked areas, as well as between the various watercolor techniques used

Masking- Using materials like tape to cover areas of the paper, preventing paint from reaching those sections, and creating clean, defined edges when removed.

Negative space- The areas of a composition that are left unpainted or untouched, often emphasizing the main subject. The areas that are around, behind, between, or within the main subject of your art work. The areas that are NOT the subject.

Warp- the piece that you weave into

Watercolors- pigment added to water to create a paint

Weaving- a method to interconnect two pieces of material, usually completed in an over/under pattern

Weft- what you weave with; what is woven into the warp

Wet on Dry- Adding watercolors onto dry paper to create a deeper color and more defined edges on a painting

Wet on Wet- Adding watercolors onto a wet paper to create a more lighter color with less defined edges
