Some of the biggest names in British watercolours of the 18th and 19th centuries are included in the Laing’s new display from the collection. Watercolours by Thomas Girtin, JMW Turner, John Sell Cotman and David Cox demonstrate the atmospheric effects of light and weather which made British watercolours famous.
