MASKING
Masking fluid is painted over areas the artist wants to keep white; once the surrounding wash dries, it peels away to reveal the protected paper beneath.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

Watercolors: a free online word search

Watercolors word search, free and printable, where pigment blooms across wet paper and a word like *cerulean* is worth finding twice.

About Watercolors

Watercolor is one of the oldest and most forgiving of the painting arts, a little water, a touch of pigment, and the paper does half the work. The medium rewards patience: a wet wash can soften into the most luminous sky or melt one color gently into the next. Artists have reached for the portable, unpretentious watercolor kit from field sketches in the wilderness to quiet Sunday afternoons at the kitchen table.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last. The trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
