you wet the paper with just water or a color then you take the brush and load it with intese color and place the brush in the area you recently wet. it creates fun effects. this image is a good example of what it looks like. the artist may have wet the square are with pure water or a red color and then later dropped in the blue color while it was still wet. the new color you added will push the previous color back a bit but also blend softly into it.

it LITERALLY means exactly that. to allow the execution in placement of the color to define it's own boundaries.
