Watercolours Artists of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, especially in the North, often used light washes of
watercolour to enliven their drawings. Only a few - Dürer
for instance - created finished watercolour paintings before the
eighteenth century. Watercolour was elevated to an art form rivaling
oil painting in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In England
and France, its practitioners perfected a technique of using the
underlying white of the paper to provide highlights to transparent
washes of colour, producing effects of luminosity and freshness
unattainable with oil paint. Previous Page 2/2 |
