Origins and History
Contemporary watercolor drawings have a rich history that dates back to the 18th century. Watercolor first gained popularity as a medium for landscape painting, with artists such as J.M.W. Turner and John Constable using it to capture the beauty of the natural world. In the 19th century, watercolor was embraced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, who used it to create highly detailed and intricate works of art.
