Watercolour Art — The Most Underestimated Medium & Why Collectors Love It

Watercolour is one of the most poetic, emotional, and technically demanding mediums. Yet it is often underestimated in the world of art.

At Next Canvas, artists like Sudipta Karmakar, Tapas Kanti Mitra, and others breathe life into this delicate medium.


Why Watercolour Is Unique

Transparency & Light

Watercolour allows light to pass through the pigments, creating natural luminosity.

Subtle Gradients

Soft skies, misty rivers, and atmospheric landscapes come alive with gentle washes.

Technical Mastery

Unlike acrylic or oil, watercolour cannot be “corrected.”
Every stroke counts.
