William Marshall Brown

Born in Edinburgh, William Marshall Brown (1863-1936) studied at the city's Royal Institute. He also spent time in London and painted in the Netherlands and France, but became recognized for his figurative work in Scottish landscape settings. Although he ranged across Scotland, he, like the 'Glasgow Boys,' found Cockburnspath a useful base and kept a studio there from which he executed some of his best work. [John Gray Centre]

Many of his works are large, exhibiting broad and rapid brushwork and a bright palette. A favourite composition might be executed several times with slight variations. - See more at: http://www.johngraycentre.org/people/artists/william-marshall-brown-rsa-1863-1936/#sthash.Xet0xYtm.dpuf

Hercules Brabazon Brabazon

Hercules Brabazon Brabazon (1821-1906) serves as a bridge in the great English tradition between the watercolors of J.M.W. Turner, whose works he copied, and those of John Singer Sargent, who was inspired to take up the medium after first seeing Brabazon Brabazon's watercolors in 1886.

Independently wealthy, Brabazon Brabazon did not exhibit any of the countless watercolors he had made on his yearly excursions through Europe, Africa and Asia until the age of 71 in 1892. He was praised for having "developed" Turner's technique "with a bravery and certainty of attack and a freshness of result, that are unsurpassed."-The Spectator, December 10, 1892 [imamuseum]
