Watercolor(水彩) is the oldest painting medium.It dates back to the early cave dwellers (居住者) who discovered they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the walls of caves by mixing the natural colors found in the earth,with water.Fresco(壁画),one of the greatest of all art forms,is done with watercolor.It is created by mixing pigments(颜料)and water and applying these to wet plaster.Of the thousands of people,who stand under Michelanglo's heroic ceiling in the Sistine Chapel,very few are aware that they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.
The invention of oil painting of the Flemish masters in the fifteenth century led to a decline in fresco painting and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly as a medium for doing preliminary sketches or as a tool for study.It was not untilthe eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters reinstated (恢复) watercolor as a serious art form.The English have a notorious love for the outdoors and also a great fondnessfor small pictures.
