History of Watercolor Original Paintings
Watercolor picture or paintings has a long, storied history that some say dates back as early as the Paleolithic era and can even be identified in ancient cave paintings. But the emergence of watercolor in the US took place in the mid 19th century when the American Society of Painters was established. Over the years, the materials used for watercolor original paintings have evolved due to the popularity of heavier papers and brushes and the introduction of new pigments such as cadmium yellow, zinc white, Prussian blue and cobalt blue among others. As abstract expressionism gained popularity in the 1950s, the prevalence of watercolor began to dwindle. Yet there are still a number of artists that specialize in stunning watercolor landscapes and do so with modern watercolor pigments that have proven durability with pigments just as true as oil or acrylic paints. Today, multimedia artwork has also drawn a lot from the watercolor style and more and more retirees are finding a way to escape through watercolor original paintings.
