English artists have made a unique contribution to the art of watercolor painting. In no other Western country has this very attractive medium been used so consistently, or for works of such stature, as in England between 1750 and the present day. In this general survey of the whole period, Graham Reynolds, formerly Keeper of Paintings and of Prints and Drawings at the Victoria & Albert Museum, discusses the paintings of over 100 artists including the well-known watercolorists such as Cozens, Girtin, Cotman and De Wint, as well as artists who are equally known for their work in other media - Gainsborough, Turner, Constable, Sargent, Henry Moore. The 140 illustrations, 64 in color, show the work of these and lesser-known artists and reveal the versatility of this medium, so the reader will be introduced to its use for illustrative caricature and portraiture as well as to the finest examples of traditional landscape watercolors.

These notes for further reading are confined to surveys which deal with the history of the English watercolour as a whole, or substantial sections of that history. These will in their turn direct attention to the numerous monographs on individual artists, many of which are in the form of exhibition catalogues.
Early English Watercolours by Iolo A. Williams, 1952, gives a comprehensive survey of the work of artists born before 1786. Watercolour Painting in Britain, 3 vols, 1966 9, by Martin Hardie, is a definitive account of the subject up to the end of the nineteenth century.
The Concise Catalogue of British Watercolours in the Victoria and Albert Museum by Lionel Lambourne and Jean Hamilton, 1981, covers the national collection, in which the twentieth century is also strongly represented. It is supplemented by monographs and catalogues of the work of individual artists in that collection: on Paul and Thomas Sandby by Luke Herrmann, 1986, Michael Angelo Rooker by Patrick Conner, 1984, John Varley by C.M. Kauffmann, 1984, Bonington, Francia and Wyld by Marcia Pointon, 1985, and Samuel Prout by Richard Lockett, 1985.
Victorian Watercolours by Christopher Newall, 1987, deals with the productions of the later part of the nineteenth century. The exhibition catalogue British Landscape Watercolours 1600 1860 by Lindsay Stainton assesses the British Museums holdings in that field. Works of Splendour and Imagination: The Exhibition Watercolour, 1770 1870 by Jane Bayard illustrates another specialized aspect, mainly through the collections of the Yale Center for British Art. The present authors Watercolours: a Concise History, reprinted 1985, deals with the national school in the wider context of Western painting. The Tempting Prospect by Michael Clarke, 1982, traces the rise of watercolour landscape, its teaching and its practice by amateurs.
