    The way Sargent painted was very physical, people said he looked like a fencer. Here he captures the movement of light on the stream & the fabric of Ormond’s dress with thick, loosely handled paint. Rose-Marie Ormond was Sargent's niece & travel companion.

    This watercolour by J.M.W Turner is no bigger than the palm of your hand. It's so small that the artist used a brush made of a single hair to paint it. 🖌️ See the work in at Tate Britain—if you can find it. 🔍
