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