William Blake
He's known to most by his poems but I've always really admired his illustrations. Blake mostly did prints with a technique that he developed, then followed that with watercolor on top by either him or his wife. That made each book he produced have a soul of their own by never painting two the exact same way. I enjoy how creative, loose and dreamlike these images are. They are quite organically balanced within the composition in a literal sense, and also a figurative balance through his Christian and Pagan themes.
