	Turner
		Turner's use of watercolour in his travel sketches facilitated the emergence of his landscape studies, these early works of topographical watercolour allowed him to develop his innovative handling of the medium.
		When he applied these watercolour techniques to his oils, they showed influences of the use of freedom of techniques, the observation of light effects and the portrayal of sublimity, which fostered new developments in the landscape genre.
		Turner's watercolour stimulated the emergence of landscape by transferring the raw material - the land into an art form and it was the application of the methods as well as the subject repertory of watercolour to oil painting which led to some of the most original elements in Turner's style.

		Watercolour came into regular use in England around the end of the 17th century, some two hundred years after Dürer's pioneering work with this medium.
		It was in the last third of the 18th century that watercolour established itself as the preferred technique for what had become a veritable craze: landscape views, whether conceived as an accurate topographical record, a travelogue of picturesque scenery, or more fanciful compositions of romantic features such as ruins and rural genre subjects.
		The British school of watercolour painting as we know it, was not firmly established until the middle of the eighteenth century.

	Watercolours 1
		Watercolours as a medium are a favourite with many customers as they have a light and delicate touch, and is a quintessentially British medium.
		There are many different styles of watercolour and depending on the strength of the colour used, how translucent it appears.
		Loose atmospheric images usually use a technique called wet on wet where the watercolour is laid down on damp paper and results in very soft detail.

	Watercolour Paintings, English Watercolours, History of Watercolour Painting
		Watercolour painting can be defined as a painting technique using various pigments soluble in water with the addition of gum to bond the pigment to the paper.
		Later in 18th century England Paul Sandby (1725-1809) was called the ‘father of English watercolour and his success in the medium was reflected by the fact that he created half of the watercolours of his time.
		Constable used watercolour to capture a moment of time - an atmospheric moment—a rainbow, cloud, reflection on water and any other information he could use to paint his larger oil paintings.

	Mineta Contemporary: Co Westerik ‘new drawings and watercolours’
		Drawings and watercolours are for me pieces in which to work spontaneously.
		They are spontaneous acts of discovery with pen, chalk or watercolour, to be followed later perhaps by a deepening of what was at first a casual encounter.
		The subject is largely a matter of chance, announcing itself as it were, in order to be explored further on numerous sheets of paper and possibly approached from yet another angle, if that’s thought likely to help.

	Giornale Nuovo: Aldrovandi’s Watercolours
		The work’s illustrations were to be drawn from the hundreds of watercolour paintings that Aldrovandi had commissioned from a number of artists, over a period of some thirty years.
		As part of their on-line presentation of Aldrovandi’s work, the University of Bologna have scanned a large number of these watercolours, a few of which I have selected for display here.
		Plants, sea-creatures, serpents, birds, domestic beasts, exotic creatures, ‘monsters’ (deformed animals, freaks of nature, conjoined twins, etc.) are all depicted in these watercolours, as are fantastic fauna, such as dragons, whose existence one supposes had not yet been altogether disproved.

		In accordance with proven traditional methods of production, all Art Spectrum Artists' Watercolours are carefully stone milled to enhance the individual brilliance of each carefully selected pigment, and to maximise its handling qualities.
		Art Spectrum watercolours have the distinct advantage of being composed only of lightfast pigments - for instance, Alizarin Crimson is not offered in our range because it is known to be fugitive.
		Art Spectrum watercolours have a very high pigment content - no fillers are used - and thus give stronger tints and clean mixes.

		This is my 1st portrait in watercolours, the first was using CP.
		This is very good for your first Watercolour Portrait -- I really like the eyes especially.
		With the hair, a little more blending would have made a difference -- the white highlights are very stark, and need to be shaded very lightly and blended in with the hair.

	About the CARON Collection Threads
		It is available in all the same colors as Watercolours and the two threads can be used very successfully together for hardanger embroidery.
		Many of the colors match Watercolours and Wildflowers, but because the silk fibers take the dye differently, they may be more subdued.
		It is very easy to work with and in weight is similar to #5 pearl cotton, six strands of floss or one ply of persian wool.
