History of watercolour paintings

Today I looked through some books and online at the history of watercolour paintings. One of the first people to paint in watercolours was Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528).

Bullfinches
Bullfinches by Albrecht Durer. I like it because I like bullfinches.
A boat and a bouy on rough seas
A boat and a bouy on rough seas by J.M.W Turner (1775-1851). I like this picture because it’s expressive and mysterious.
Birds on blossom
Birds on blossom by Fidelia Bridges (1834-1923). She was an American watercolour artist and she was one of the only women to make a living from her art. I like it because it’s colourful.
Cherries on a plate
Cherries by Rhoda Holmes Nicholls (1854-1930). She was an Anglo-American artist who won awards in Europe and America for her paintings. I like the colour contrast.
A scene in Venice
John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) a scene in Venice. I like it because it’s vibrant and it’s got movement in the water.
