Watercolour at Tate Britain – in pictures





This ambitious new show on watercolour art spans 800 years, and includes everything from war art to botanical illustrations, 18th-century abstraction to modern classicism. Works by William Blake, Anish Kapoor, JMW Turner, Tracey Emin and many others showcase a genre with a long-lasting emotional appeal in the UK. Here's a sample of the work on offer

    I especially like the bottom one. The pale colors are lovely.

    Thanks for the link :)

    Blake (and Turner) are on the edge of my period. If only I had time to include more of their fabulous work.
