Synopsis

This book delves into the evolution of watercolours from their inception during the Middle Ages to their distinct form as a medium from the 18th century onwards. The author examines the contributions of different artists to the genre, highlighting figures like Thomas Girtin and J. M. W. Turner. The book analyses the technical developments that shaped modern watercolours, such as the move away from tinted and outlined drawings towards a focus on capturing tones and colours seen in nature. Through examples of works by prominent artists, the book showcases the breadth and depth of modern watercolours as an expressive and versatile art form, illustrating how the medium has expanded beyond its traditional boundaries and established itself as a vibrant and experimental contemporary art practice.
