Four in addition to one-half hours into The Private View yesterday in addition to it's all the same busy!

The exhibition is, every bit usual, a real adept standard. More importantly, this is real clearly an fine art lodge which likes exhibiting paintings which expect similar they were painted amongst the piece of occupation of water! While at that spot are around plant inwards acrylic, most are painted using proper watercolour pigment in addition to a few also piece of occupation gouache.  I'm a large fan of watercolour paintings in addition to I similar this exhibition!

You tin read the e-catalogue in addition to seee around of the paintings on Issuu

The bonus for those coming to London to run across the exhibition is that they tin run across two exhibitions past times watercolour fine art societies at the same time every bit the Spring Exhibition by members of the Royal Watercolour Society opens on Friday

The RI exhibition at the Mall Galleries is the larger of the two. If your start beloved is watercolour in addition to yous project design to see both, I definitely recommend yous start amongst the RI exhibition every bit the RWS exhibition is to a greater extent than a "works done past times RWS members - including other media" than a watercolour exhibit per se.
