It's not only acrylic and oil painters who can have creative fun with mediums, watercolorists can too! There's iridescence (shiny), granulation (dotty), texture (bumps), gloss (finish), sizing (reduces paper absorbency) and more! Put some creative play back into your life!

Interesting. I like this photo and am intrigued by the possibilities available to artists.
Um…. well, I’d try them if someone gave them to me for Christmas, LOL.
You have such a wealth of information on your site, Marion!

I add different amounts of matte medium to gouache.
Some I’ve not got. Where’s that art supply catalogue??
