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.

One of the earliest practitioners of this form would be none other than Albrecht Durer who was an artist from Europe. He was one of the very first people to start watercolor painting sometime during the Renaissance period. He was well known for his extremely detailed works of animals and some still life that really pays close attention to each small stroke.

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.

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.

American painter Edward Hopper was another well known painter who made paintings about everyday American life. His techniques when it comes to painting shadows and light were definitely something that not many artists could do. It was actually because of his extensive study on the direction of light that he was able to paint like that.

So if one is into watercolor painting, then he would be interested to know that these water color artists were the ones who helped develop this art form. If they were not around to create beautiful works, this art form probably would not have reached its peak. Thanks to them, many painters and appreciators may gaze upon beautiful works.
