- Winslow Homer was the quintessential American painter, he delighted in all forms of genre, from Interior settings like the 'School Teacher', to life in the wild, deep in the woods, to the Rocky cliffs of Maine, and even Florida and the tropics. America in all its early beauty was his canvas..and Watercolor.
Homer was largely self-taught but we know he gleaned much from his time in Paris. Homer was prolific and this presentation is just a taste of his genius with the Watercolor medium.
He took note of light and color..his gestures were not exaggerated. A moment caught in time..no more no less .This post is greatly appreciated.
No words..Homer’s art speaks for itself.! Brilliant!
Some 15 years ago the Art Institute of Chicago had a dual exhibition of watercolors by Edward Hopper and Winslow Homer. MEMORABLE. They even had Homer's paint box and brushes on display.
two greats
What fortune! Would have loved to have seen that.
Amazing
This was a very good video! Besides the magnificent pictures, I enjoyed very much the vignettes of his life. Thank you for putting this wonderful documentary together.
One of my heroes. The video mentioned his improved drawing as he developed his watercolor painting. Homer worked during the American Civil War, sketching battles and soldiers on site. From my own experience, capturing the fleeting moments of moving figures improves the memory and drawing of figures. As you mentioned in the video, I firmly believe working from life (and, by extension, nature) is the quickest and most honest path to improve ones skills. Homer, IMHO, benefited from more than most from working from life. This video is a wonderful example and lesson. Thanks again for this channel and the insights into one of the great masters of watercolor....and observation. Looking forward to the next masterclass in our craft.
Thank you so much for this remarkable presentation of the works of Winslow Homer. Such a great artist, a brilliant watercolorist.
He is one of my favourite artists.His paintings have a calming effect on my mind.❤❤❤
One of the greatest of watercolourists. His art is remarkable. As ever, it was a great presentation and commentary.
Thank you so much for this brilliant video of Winslow Homer. I have several books about him, but your thorough, thoughtful and respectful commentary brought him and his paintings to life. Thank you again.
Beautifully done, he was truly an artist-born. Amazing !
Thank you for the presentation. It contains lots of material to ponder about..
"the mysterious power of unerring choice." Yes, that, to me, encapsulates Winslow Homers watercolors. From color and tonal relationships, composition, massing, and subject matter. Homer's artistic judgement was extraordinary. I bet when he accidentally spilled his morning coffee on his placemat, it resulted in a beautiful image.
Thank you for this wonderful presentation of one of my favorite artists!
Some very fine work by this artist! Super impressive!
Merci. Passionnant. Remarquable. Merci infiniment. 🙏.

He Was The Best Watercolor Painter That Ever Lived Beautiful 😍
All I can say is thank you.
Winslow Homer is one of my favorite watercolor artists. I enjoyed learning more about him and viewing some of his extensive collection of drawings and paintings. Thank you for posting!
I live very near where he painted Snap The Whip. I learned this quite by accident while taking a walk on the rail trail in Hurley, NY. Being one of my favorite artists, learning this about him adds to my admiration and respect.
I really enjoy these videos-they’re fantastic! It would be wonderful to see more women artists featured on the channel. I haven’t seen any so far, and there are so many incredible women masters to discover and appreciate. Thank you for considering this!
Just a totally enjoyable and beautiful video. Thank you so very much. Dudley
Creating beauty requires work and dedication to bringing the artist’s vision to life. Thank you for introducing me to a master. I’ve subscribed.
I love these mini art documentaries. One of my very favorite painters. Homer, Sargent, and William Trost Richards are three of America's greatest watercolorists. Perhaps you might consider doing a segment sometime on Richards as well.
Brilliant video! Thank you!
Love the toned paper drawings.
Wonderful to listen too,i really enjoyed,and appreciate your rhetoric😊
Really enjoyed your video. Thanks so much.
A wonderful artist in time. 😊😊😊
Very fine artist, the best works always from nature and their environment. Thank you ;)
The expressions in the paintings cannot be captured by a photo camera. They are emitting a strong chemistry of %100 human involvement. Thanks for the presentation.
Master of soft watercolor ❤🎉

The photograph at 14:19 depicts Homer, Sam, and Homer's father, not "a friend. "
Duly noted.
Hard to be so alone and honest
