Watercolor (American English) or watercolour (Commonwealth and Ireland), also aquarelle from French, is a painting method. A watercolor is the medium or the resulting artwork in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-soluble vehicle. The traditional and most common support for watercolor paintings is paper; other supports include papyrus, bark papers, plastics, vellum or leather, fabric, wood, and canvas. Watercolors are usually transparent, and appear luminous because the pigments are laid down in a relatively pure form with few fillers obscuring the pigment colors. Watercolor can also be made opaque by adding Chinese white. In East Asia, watercolor painting with inks is referred to as brush painting or scroll painting. In Chinese, Korean, and Japanese painting it has been the dominant medium, often in monochrome black or browns. India, Ethiopia and other countries also have long traditions. Fingerpainting with watercolor paints originated in china.
Although watercolor painting is extremely old, dating perhaps to the cave paintings of paleolithic Europe, and has been used for manuscript illumination since at least Egyptian times but especially in the European Middle Ages, its continuous history as an art medium begins in the Renaissance. The German Northern Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) who painted several fine botanical, wildlife and landscape watercolors, is generally considered among the earliest exponents of the medium. An important school of watercolor painting in Germany was led by Hans Bol (1534–1593) as part of the Dürer Renaissance.
Praying that the pain stops
Counting all the tear drops falling on your pillow
Guess he hit a weak spot
Heard it was a cheap shot, hate to say, "I told you so"
Yeah, it's a joke
How many hits till your sweet bones finally break?
And how many nights all alone is it going to take?
He's got a hold of your heart now, baby
And you don't even know
He's got a hold of your heart now, baby
That's why I have to let you go
That's why I have to let you go, oh
Told me that you're alright
I can see you're not quite the girl you were before
Will it take a landslide
To help you decide there's nothing left anymore?
Yeah, it's a joke
How many hits till your sweet bones finally break?
And how many nights all alone is it going to take?
Well, I guess I oughta back down
I thought you would come around
Guess I oughta back down
'Cause you are nowhere to be found
This is what you wanted now
So is this how you pictured it?
And this is what you wanted now
The two can be so different
He's got a hold of your heart now, baby
And you don't even know
He's got a hold of your heart now, baby
And you don't even know
He's got a hold of your heart now, baby
That's why I have to let you go
That's why I have to let you go, oh, oh
He's got a hold of your heart now, baby
And you don't even know
He's got a hold of your heart now, baby
That's why I have to let you go
That's why I have to let you go, oh
