Guernsey, a picturesque island in the English Channel, has been a subject of artistic inspiration for many centuries. In the 19th century, watercolour painting gained popularity as a medium for capturing the island’s scenic beauty. Many talented artists depicted Guernsey’s landscapes, seascapes, and architectural features in their watercolour works during this period.
