Contour Watercolor

The Contour Watercolor style in the program imitates a mixed method of painting, very close to the "dry-on-wet" watercolor technique. It adds thin lines to the painting to emphasize the edge of objects and allows you to simulate a combination of watercolor paint and pencils. The colors in such drawings are more vibrant and less blurred and the result may look like gouache or poster art.
