William Hough

William Hough is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

William Hough painted still lifes in watercolour around the late 1800s, crisply layering fruit like pineapple, plums and grapes with a light hand. His precise brush kept each slice and pip distinct under a soft wash, a quiet skill in an era crowded with heavier oil canvases. The paper itself often carries faint deckle edges, a small sign of the sheet’s maker rather than the painter.

To see how he balanced colour and shadow, look next at Fruit: Pineapple, Plums and Grapes in the Watercolour tradition.
