Did j.b.c. Corot, world famous french painter, paint in water colors, espevcially minature?

From my research it seems that like many artists he would sketch and do small paintings before tackling full size oil paintings for customers or to hang at the Salon in the French competitions. According to the EB piece on him, ';His naturalistic oil sketches are now more highly regarded than his more self-consciously poetic finished paintings';. But I cannot find any corroborating sources.





I could not find many references to his water colours, but several references to oils on canvas.
