Antique Water Colours
In the beginning of it's use, watercolour paintings made by artists of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries often used light washes of watercolour to enliven their drawings.
In England and France, its practitioners perfected a technique of using the underlying white of the paper to provide highlights to transparent washes of colour, producing effects of luminosity and freshness that was unattainable with oil paint.
