A Notably Eponymous Watercolorist
May 24, 2024 5:22 AM Subscribe
John Sell Cotman was known for his paintings and drawings, especially watercolor. Wikipedia has the bio and suggested further readings, as well as information about others in his artistically-inclined family. Likely most people who know the name "Cotman" know it in the context of watercolor paints available from Winsor & Newton, which have appeared previously a number of times in discussion on Ask.
The search and filter capability of the artist website is really excellent, kudos to whoever designed and built it. So many artist websites are terrible, but this is not one of them!
The only flaw is the scans of the watercolors (and many of the other drawings) seem woefully underexposed. A bit frustrating, as this would be a very easy fix to make.

Robert Ryman liked Winsor and Newton paint so much he named a series after the brand
