John Singer Sargent, Dazzling Watercolors

Sargent started painting in watercolor early on and continued using it throughout his career. His watercolors, vibrant and dynamic like his oil paintings, focus on essentials while being visually rich with bright colors. ‘To live with Sargent’s watercolors is to live with sunshine captured and held.’ Evan Charteris (Sargent’s friend and biographer)
