During the early 1500s, painting took off as one of the most famous forms of art because it was able to create really beautiful pictures of still life, animals, and scenery. Along with oil painting, another form of painting also made its way into the world of art which is known as watercolor painting. Of course it was because of some of these very influential water color artists that this particular form of painting was able to evolve into a very popular art form even up until today.

Winslow Homer was another very famous artist who was working sometime in the nineteenth century who made beautiful works on landscapes. What made him very different from the others is that he was able to teach himself how to paint and he even came up with so many different painting methods.
