Connectedness is one of the Gestalt principles of perceptual organization. The human mind perceives elements as a group rather than individual units. If you apply this principle to your paintings, the quality will improve dramatically.


In a watercolour painting, you can apply the principle by using flow in colours and merging shape with other objects. It can help you create a sense of fluidity, spontaneity, and harmony in your painting. Connectedness can also help you create a sense of unity and cohesiveness in your painting..
