I enjoyed my see to the Spring Exhibition of the Royal Watercolour Society this week.  

The RWS Spring Exhibition at the Bankside Gallery
- amongst a Tribute Wall to Leslie Worth PPRWS (1923-2009)

Having a whole wall of paintings past times Leslie Worth OBE PPRWS RBA NEAC Hon.RI (1923-2009) at 1 terminate of the gallery is plenty to elevate anybody's game inwards the the world of watercolour.

Worth's spontaneous effects amongst launder were the live of a visionary. He captured beautifully the transient qualities of English linguistic communication weather condition – storms, showers, hazy sunlight as well as mists.

It was absolutely wonderful to come across in 1 lawsuit again the absolutely amazing things he used to create amongst atmospheric washes.  I know of no other watercolour creative someone who has come upwards as well as hence roughly emulating Turner inwards his work.  He ready the bar to which I promise other painters aspire. His cash inwards one's chips inwards 2009 was such a tragic loss to the the world of watercolour.

That said, his live did request upwards the departure betwixt the type of watercolours which used to hang on the wall of the gallery some twenty years agone when he was President as well as what hangs at that spot now.  It was specially proficient this yr to come across many to a greater extent than of the members using pure watercolour for their artwork.

I intend few convey come upwards roughly emulating him inwards damage of mastery of watercolour painting.  Those who convey are members who convey won the Turner Watercolour Medal.  (eg Michael Chaplin - inwards 2011 as well as Paul Newland - inwards 2008).  This yr the Medal has been awarded to Past President David Firmstone.   See David Firmstone wins Turner Watercolour Award 2013.

The entrance to the exhibition is hung amongst paintings past times the electrical current as well as past times Presidents - Thomas Plunkett PWS, David Paskett PPRWS as well as John Doyle PPRWS.  It was actually interesting to come across their dissimilar agency inwards painting next to 1 another.
