When thinking of some of the more famous watercolour paintings, and while there are plenty to choose from, it’s difficult not to think of either Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’, Claude Monet’s ‘San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk’, or any number of J.M.W. Turner paintings.  

In the period encompassing the Stone Age, we begin to see a basic form of watercolour painting emerge where created on the walls of caves, making this genre of art as old a civilisation itself.

Using paint pigments suspended in water, watercolour paintings have dominated Asian art for centuries and yet only became a popular artistic medium in the western world as late as the 18th century, where it was largely confined to preparatory sketches. 

Now, artists from around the world choose to create their pieces using this versatile medium thanks to the various colour tones and varied atmospheric effects that can be achieved by staining wet canvas or paper with varying amounts of colour pigments to achieve the effect they have been seeking.
