| | Watercolour Paintings, English Watercolours, History of Watercolour Painting |
| | Watercolour painting can be defined as a painting technique using various pigments soluble in water with the addition of gum to bond the pigment to the paper. | | | Later in 18th century England Paul Sandby (1725-1809) was called the ‘father of English watercolour and his success in the medium was reflected by the fact that he created half of the watercolours of his time. | | | Prior to and during this period other famous artists have used watercolour painting to supplement their skills with oil paint including Van Dyke (1599-1641), Gainsborough (1727-1788) and John Constable (1776-1837). |

| | The British Museum: Factsheets |
| | It was in the last third of the 18th century that watercolour established itself as the preferred technique for what had become a veritable craze: landscape views, whether conceived as an accurate topographical record, a travelogue of picturesque scenery, or more fanciful compositions of romantic features such as ruins and rural genre subjects. | | | The British school of watercolour painting as we know it, was not firmly established until the middle of the eighteenth century. | | | This collection of one hundred and thirty-seven British drawings and watercolours, including sixteen works by John ‘Warwick' Smith (1749-1831) and sixty-one by Turner, had been carefully preserved from damaging natural light and the watercolours remain among the freshest examples of the medium. |
