What is watercolor?
Specialist manufacturers produce watercolor paints by grinding pigments very finely and then mixing them with a binder such as gum arabic. Artists buy them in tubes or cakes and use water as the medium when brushing the paint onto special watercolor paper. When the artist applies the paint using a technique known as wet-in-wet, where two or more colors can run into each other, the result can be beautiful and result in unexpected color mixes. Some pigments make interesting patterns as they settle into the paper. Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Umber both do this. The canvas prints on offer here show these traits particularly well.
Watercolor painters past and present
One of the earliest and most beautiful watercolors we know is Albrecht Durer's "Young Hare", painted in 1502. The British artist J.M.W. Turner is famous for his watercolor paintings. He produced thousands during his lifetime, and you can see many of his sketches and drawings in the Tate Gallery in London. Also working in the early 1800s, John Constable, possibly most famous for his oil painting "The Haywain", was using watercolor on a daily basis for preliminary studies. His contemporaries said that he made at least one sky painting every single day. Many modern artists value the expressive qualities of watercolor, especially in more abstract works, using the medium loosely to create a sense of the subject in their work rather than a literal representation. Every year competitions held nationally and internationally showcase the best work currently being produced around the world. Amateur painters often begin with watercolor, only to find it isn't nearly as easy as it looks to get great results. If you have a love of watercolors, choosing a canvas print is the ideal way to get one on your wall. With their liveliness and purity, watercolors are easy to live with in any environment and these canvas prints offer you the added bonus that there is no need for the glazing and frame you would need for an original work.
