Who created watercolors?

Answer 1

America's contribution to the international watercolor tradition is second to none. Although the British dominated that tradition in the past, American artists have produced a substantial and varied body of work in watercolor that is unmatched elsewhere in the world since the late eighteenth century.

An unpredictable medium, the character of watercolor is uniquely challenging. The accomplished watercolorist learns to take advantage of the unexpected results of the medium. As practiced by most of its greatest masters, spontaneity is everything. The artist learns to improvise, which can be done effectively only with experience. The intimacy of the medium springs from the way it encourages improvisation and seems to record the artist's fleeting thought on paper.

Watercolor, also known in French as aquarelle, is generally described as painting with water-soluble pigments on paper. Most commonly the pigments are suspended in a vehicle or binder of gum arabic. The classic painting technique was perfected in England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The pigment was applied in a series of transparent washes that allowed light to be reflected from the surface of the paper through layers of color. This technique gives watercolor its unique glow. Washes are layered to increase density and transform color already laid down. With this method, the colors are mixed by the viewer's eye and create a unique visual characteristic.

Answer 2

Watercolor paints originated in England and were developed in the late 18th century and 19th century. The first produced were made of dry cakes or pans. The French developed moist pan colors in the 19th century. And, Winsor Newton introduced tubes of moist watercolor paints in England in the mid-19th century.

Winsor Newton was the first manufacturer to produce a complete list of colors detailing their chemical composition and permanence. Winsor Newton's professional grade paints -- labeled Artists' Water Colour -- are superb, high-quality watercolor paints. And, they are favored by professional artists.

Answer 3

Paint goes back a long time. Cave paintings have been found that go back to stone age times. The present age of paint is 35,000 to 40,000 years, and is still a contentious subject, as new techniques, and new sites change the time scale. So "when did paint get invented" may never be discovered.

Answer 5

in the ancient days

Answer 6
