William Payne (1760–1830) was a pioneering English watercolorist and one of the key figures in the development of British landscape painting during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in Exeter, Payne originally worked as a civil engineer and draughtsman, but it was his talent with watercolors that earned him lasting recognition.
Payne is best remembered for popularizing new techniques in watercolor, including the use of "splitting the brush" and dragging it sideways to create textured foliage—a method that gave his landscapes a soft, atmospheric quality. He also developed a muted gray-blue tint known as Payne’s Grey, a color still widely used by artists today.
His subjects often featured the rural scenery of Devon and the English countryside, depicted with a romantic, almost poetic sensibility that resonated with the growing appreciation for natural beauty in his time. Although he never became a member of the Royal Academy, Payne exhibited frequently and influenced a generation of watercolor artists.
William Payne died in 1830, but his innovations helped elevate watercolor painting from a secondary medium to a respected art form in its own right.

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1846, Joseph Farquharson combined a long and prolific career as a painter with his inherited role as a Scottish laird. He painted in both oils and water colors. His mother, a celebrated beauty, was an Ainslie. His early days were spent in his father's house in Northumberland Street below Queen Street Gardens and later at Eaton Terrace beyond the Dean Bridge, Edinburgh and at Finzean. His father Francis was a doctor and laird of Finzean in Aberdeenshire. Joseph was educated in Edinburgh and permitted by his father to paint only on Saturdays using his father’s paint box. When Joseph reached the age of 12, Francis Farquharson bought his son his first paints he could call his own and only a year later he exhibited his first painting at the Royal Scottish Academy. His first major portrait was of ' Miss Alice...
