Good theme, Enrico. Here´s my contribution:

Ive always been fond of Winslow Homer.

Hi 4ojos, your suggestion (see below) nearly looks like oil or acyrl!

Yes, I know, but IS watercolour, believe me. Some of his work is amazing. There´s a few more at

Here´s another classic: John Singer Sargent.


And yet another: Mariano Fortuny. Unfortunately I can´t find any good image of his amazing waterclours. I hope this little one will give you an idea.

I found more Fortuny's watercolors.
Fortuny is great!

We all know his father work for classics such as Treasure Island but so you realize how good his son is as a watercolorist?

Some lovely Miyazaki's watercolors from Paris 2005's Moebius-Miyazaki's Expo ...for the ones (lik me) who had not the chance to be there

Awesome watercolors! Wow I wish I can paint in watercolors like that. Watercolors are really hard to control, but a really fun medium

Thank you for the inspirations! My contribution is Ronald Jesty, a British watercolorist. His work enchanted me even in small reproductions in some of my "how to make art" books so I remembered his name. This year I found his work in a gallery in England (Quarr Gallery in Swanage). Seeing this picture and then sketching the place myself the next day moved my sketches to a level that made me happy.

His work is so simple, so masterful, such gorgeous color:


There are more images of his work http://www.quarrart.com/section90200_154564.html.

I didnt know about Ronald Jesty. Thanks for sharing!

it was great inspiration to see your posts on watercolor and discover some work that I wasn't aware of thankyou 4ojos and all the others do you know Turner's watercolors ?

I get my inspirations from books by authors such as Charles de Lint http://www.sfsite.com/charlesdelint/, and Brian Froud http://www.worldoffroud.com/index.html. Also Stephanie Law at Shadowscapes, and my watercolor teacher, Rob Erdle http://www.watercolorworldwide.com/gallery.html.
