A List Of 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.

Now in the world of art, there was a time in Europe that was known as the Renaissance period. It was during this time that a pioneer in the art of watercolor painting named Albrecht Durer was able to make a name for himself. Because of his very detailed works on animals and still life, he was able to grab the attention of many viewers who loved art.

Another very influential artist would be none other than J. M. W. Turner whose works concentrated on European scenery. His works were not very detailed as compared to other artists but they definitely had a certain charm to them. They were quite simple but very beautiful at the same time which intrigued a lot of appreciators of the arts.

Because of its appearance in a lot of television programs and a lot of movies, the signature painting of James McNeill Whistler, which was Whistlers Mother, became famous in this century. Whistler was a man who was known to paint both his mother and his sister. What made his works famous is his energetic strokes along with the bond combination of colors.

Winslow Homer was another very famous artist who was working sometime in the nineteenth century who made beautiful works on landscapes. What made him very different from the others is that he was able to teach himself how to paint and he even came up with so many different painting methods. Of course a lot of these methods are still being used by a lot of modern artists today.

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.

Edward Hopper was a painter that was born in America and also influenced this art form with his works. He made use of different and unique styles of painting light and shadows when he made works about the typical American life in a typical American day. His depiction of shadows shows how much he has studied the movement and direction of light.

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.
