This brief history looks at the uses and techniques of watercolour painting, covering work by Durer, Turner and Rossetti.
Though sometimes dismissed as a less substantial method than painting in oils, watercolour provides a medium whose specific technical characteristics can produce a wide range of effects. Translucent washes of colour and delicate lines may be the obvious strengths of this kind of painting, but it can be adapted to the controlled demands of design and the fine detail of still-life just as well as it can produce a luminous brilliance of colour or the excitement of visible gesture from the hand of the artist. This brief history looks at the uses and techniques of watercolour painting, including the naturalistic studies of Durer, the picturesque landscapes of the 18th century, Turner’s sweeping atmospheric effects and Rossetti’s intense mediaevalising gouaches.
