Ep 13. Where are the truly iconic watercolour paintings?
<p>Why are there so few, if any, iconic or standout watercolour artworks in the history of art? Or am I wrong? As I hunt for the 3 most significant and impactful watercolour paintings of all time, I find the answer. And it turns out I'm wrong. Wrong in my assumption that perhaps watercolours sometimes are seen as a bit of the 'underdog' of the fine art mediums. In fact what I DO find, will delight you if you're a fan of watercolour painting. Join me as I unravel the historic status of watercolour and arrive at the answer as to why the 3 artists featured, used watercolours to find their art sweet spot. #creativeprocess #artistdevelopment #artinspiration #watercolour #artmethod This content is primarily created to act as inspiration and education for creative souls who want to study, research and learn from iconic creative works and their creators.
