Thomas Hearne (22 September 1744 – 13 April 1817) was an English landscape painter, engraver and illustrator.[2][3] Hearne's watercolours were typified by applying a wash of subtle subdued colours over a clear outline in fine brush, pen or pencil.[4][5] His techniques were studied by younger artists such as Thomas Girtin and J. M. W. Turner.[6]
