Flowing and intervening
Watercolor cannot be controlled, and that is exactly what gestural watercolorists work with: they let pigment run and step in at the right moment. You can find gestural mixed media with watercolor for sale here if movement matters more to you than motif.
On damp paper, colors spread and form soft edges. Charcoal strokes, ink blots or wax traces set counter-accents. The alternation between flow and mark defines these sheets. Typical are long swathes of color, splatters and spots where the paint dried and formed fine rims. Where charcoal or ink is added, the sheet reads almost like a notation of movement.

Small to medium
Watercolor paper takes large formats only with effort, so many gestural watercolorists work at medium sizes. Sheets like these often feel more intense than large canvases because you step close.
