Phenomena Lunar Reckoning by Paul Jenkins is an example of his masterful use of watercolor, smoothly blending colors together and at the edges, gently feathering out, to create rivulets of color.

Watercolor is a medium that consists of colored pigment suspended in a water-soluble binder that is then applied to a support surface, typically paper. The paint dries very quickly and has often been used to make preparatory sketches in addition to fully realized works of art. As a medium, watercolor is prized for its ability to make luminous images as the color of the paper shines through the translucent watercolor layer.
