Watercolor is a type of visual art. Colors are simply dissolved in water and applied to paper or other material using a small brush. Serious artists usually use tempera or oil and apply the colors to canvas or other durable material. Children usually learn watercolor in school at an early age, but some serious artists have used it.

Can you paint metal with watercolor?
No! It would just flake off like chalk after drying! Gouache is a watercolor-like paint made with gum arabic and chalk (which makes the color opaque, i.e. you cannot see through the color). When dry, it has a unique, velvety texture and rich, deep color. Years after a gouache painting has dried, it can still be blended and re-worked with a wet brush. It was the standard medium in fashion illustration and popular with illustrators until the introduction of commercial design markers. Use it on illustration board!
