Summary: The art of watercolor painting has been practiced since the time of the ancient Egyptians, when frescoes were created by a process of applying water-based pigments to wet plaster. Watercolor painting also has a rich history in Chinese and Japanese art, and has been used to add color to beautifully illuminated manuscripts in cultures throughout the world. What we think of as modern watercolor painting began to develop in the 1500s with Albrecht Durer's landscape studies. The popularity of this medium spread and spawned many disciplines of watercolor painting, including the 17th century British school and the California style of the 1920s.
