The true masters from the past certainly came from painting techniques in China and Japan. I’ve seen some quite fabulous.
But there are many paintings that appeal to me. This first time I got seriously interested in watercolour, was when I saw some of Arthur Rackham’s paintings of Alice in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll.
These illustrations, from 1907, are gorgeous. The one with Alice and The Pack of Cards caught my eye, and from then onwards I haven’t stopped learning and getting to know some brilliant artists from the Golden Age of Illustration.
