Cousins father and son - Cousins Fushi

Japanese: カズンズ父子 - カズンズふし

They were British watercolorists, father and son. The father, Alexander Cozens (c. 1717-1786), is said to have been born in Russia, but was in England in 1742. After a brief stay in Italy, he returned to England in 1746 and established a family of watercolor landscape painters. He invented a technique called blot drawing, which made use of the accidental staining of color on paper, and became a pioneer of English Romantic landscape painting. The son, John Robert Cozens (1752-1799), was born in London.
