The Evolution of Watercolor

The history of watercolor in its various forms dates back far beyond what most people think. Through the eyes of an artist, viewers trace watercolor’s roots from early cave paintings, to Michelangelo, to the Impressionists, and into the 20th century.

It's always a special treat when you post a video. I love the way you analyze and describe the medium in a clear, understandable way that also shows off your deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject. Thank you.

The question I didn't know I wanted the answer to.

Victorian female artists made watercolour paintings.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

That's true - they did. There's so much more I could have added but for time constraints.

Terrific video love that you included the Asian and middle eastern artist

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

Thank you. I do like to include artists from around the world when I can…

[@mysticotton]

the frescos you showed from the middle east were byzantine fresco's looking like they were from the 13th or 14th century or 12th century meaning they are part of the middle ages

Another one of your great videos. thanks so much.

[@julissimo1]

Hello! I love your videos. Your calming voice and clear explanations are charming. I wonder if you might help me with a question? I saw a non-representational painting in an art history book years ago that took my breath away. The title was something like, “To Give ___ Light.” (Eternal? Ethereal??)
Does this ring a bell with you at all? I’d love to see it again. Thank you!

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

Tough one. I did some looking. I'm wondering if it was a piece by Hilma af Klint. Here is a site with some of her work. Was it one of these perhaps? doorofperception.com/2013/11/hilma-af-klint/

Would you consider doing a tutorial on Japanese gansai watercolor paint? I've read that they can look and behave differently than Western watercolor paints, but have never seen any actual demonstrations. Thanks!

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

Hmm, now that is interesting. I will read up on it some more. I did a class on ink wash painting (Improving Your Brush Confidence & Agility th-cam.com/video/ARVGiCwgLXs/w-d-xo.html) and a whole class series on watercolor. From a quick look, it seems that Japanese Gansai painting is primarily watercolor that is more highly pigmented (more intense colors) and often more opaque. It seems to be used mostly direct painting. Thanks for bringing my attention to it. I'll do some more research...

[@tomhighsmith]

Your videos are always high quality, always new things to learn. Thank you very much, much appreciated.

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

So glad you enjoy my work!

[@nikhil-kulkarni]

Jill Poyerd, I recently discovered your channel. I must say that I am very impressed with your work and skill. I do not wish to flatter you but the quality of your videos is as good as the documentaries published by BBC or National Geographic. It seems that you are a diligent student of art and have created all videos independently. We men feel very proud to see women like yourself contributing to art history. Other women should learn and take inspiration from you. Applause!

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

That is so kind of you. I truly appreciate that compliment and am honored. I do hope my work is inspiring to others.

[@nikhil-kulkarni]

@@JillPoyerdFineArt You are welcome! Thank you for responding!

[@theMuritz]

Your explanations are always so touching … ❤

[@JillPoyerdFineArt]

Thank you so much...
