Very Famous Water Color Artists

By Leticia Jensen


During the early 1500s, painting took off as one of the most famous forms of art because it was able to create really beautiful pictures of still life, animals, and scenery. Along with oil painting, another form of painting also made its way into the world of art which is known as watercolor painting. Of course it was because of some of these very influential water color artists that this particular form of painting was able to evolve into a very popular art form even up until today.

Albert Durer, who was a well known painter that came from Europe, was known to be one of the first people who popularized this form of art. He was actually a pioneer of this art form who lived in a time called the Renaissance period of art. People knew him because his works had a certain style that was unique to only his works.

When it comes to scenery, the European watercolor artist named J. M. W. Turner is definitely one who can take the cake. Although he did not make use of hard strokes and flashy colors like the others, his works had a particular uniqueness about them. His works were very simple but also beautiful because they were not overdone.

Any person would have probably heard about the extremely famous painting which is known as Whistlers Mother. James McNeill Whistler was a painter from England who was known to make paintings of his family and some of his personal belongings. He became very known in the art world because he made use of very wild brush strokes and a very unique combination of colors.

The nineteenth century saw the emergence of another very famous artist who was named Winslow Homer and was extremely known for his beautiful works on the scenery of his hometown. Now he was very different from the others because he actually taught himself how to paint and he even made his own brand of techniques. His influence was so strong that many modern painters also followed some of his methods and techniques.

When it comes to the world of abstract art, Paul Kee would be a very famous name. He was known to be able to paint abstract cubes in a different way which had its own charm among the viewers. His works actually influenced a lot of modern abstract painters that appeared in the future because of his works when it comes to cubism.

An American artist who was named Edward Hopper was an American one who painted about many scenarios that happened in a regular day in America. His paintings were extremely loved by viewers because he painted light and shadows in a way that no other artist did. He spent a lifetime studying where the light comes from which is why he is able to paint like this.

In the world of watercolor painting, these are some of the names that have actually aided with the development of this type of form. These famous water color artists are known because their skills with the brush were second to none. It was because of their contribution to the art world that watercolor painting in general took off.
