Among the most ancient of all artistic techniques is painting or drawing with pigments suspended in water. Because they can be created from simple substances - such as naturally occurring minerals, soot, plant materials, and water - these paints and inks are found in cultures around the globe. This exhibition explores paintings and drawings from the MFA’s permanent collection made using water-based media, including ink, gouache, and of course watercolor.
