Watercolpur painting is a method of painting
with pigments mixed with water, known in
China as early as the 3rd century. The art as
practised today began in England in the 18th
century with the work of Paul Sandby and was
developed by Thomas Girtin, John Sell Cotman,
and J M W Turner. The technique of
watercolour painting requires great skill
since its transparency rules out
overpainting.
