Jan Spencer questions

How is a printed card different from an original watercolor?

An original watercolor is a single painting, made by hand on paper. A printed card reproduces it: the painting is copied and printed many times, so many people can send the same image while the original stays one of a kind. Jan Spencer's cards are printed from her watercolors.

What is watercolor?

Watercolor is paint made of colored pigment ground in gum, usually gum arabic, which acts as a binder, the ingredient that holds the color together. It is brushed on with water, and the color is usually transparent, so you can see the paper through it. Watercolor painters leave parts of the paper unpainted, so the white paper creates the whites in the picture.
