Master Artist .

Odd title but couldn’t think of another one, we often read, hear and see artists referred to as a  Master Artists or an Old Master , mostly referring to past artist who’s work is valuable and highly appreciated. I was taking with a friend about painting and he asked me who I thought were master artist , must admit it stopped me in my tracks . I can reel off several of the great artists who are known as masters but I made me think who do I actually think of as masters of their craft. It’s bugged me since then and I decided to make a list based on artist who I think are masters at what they do and do meet the so call criteria .  This definition I copied from google . So who would I put on my list if I was asked to produce one , a bit difficult as it could be an endless task , these artists I would definitely include , not in any particular order . David Bellamy , Rowland Hilder, Alwyn and June Crawshaw, Peder Mork Munsted, John Blockley , Ann Blockley , John Singer Sargent, Claude Muncaster , Seago, Edward Wesson , Turner , Constable to name a few. I will add that there are a few artist on POL who I would say are masters of their craft without them meeting the full criteria. The question is who would you put on your list , it’s ok to duplicate other’s peoples choices . I suspect you will instantly think of some obvious names then start to dither about others. 

Yes I did the same thing but my choices are all watercolour artists in the main , didn’t think about it at the time .
