RI open exhibition

21/2/2017

On Tuesday last week I received confirmation that one of my paintings had been accepted for inclusion in the 205th Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries. With my return to painting in 2013 after a gap of nearly 20 years, this is a pleasing achievement. In three and a bit years of painting watercolour I've learned from a number of workshops and demonstrations hosted by artists I admire, useful new techniques and efficient use of the my modest skill. Of the many open exhibitions entered, most without success, the few which have chosen my work for show have made the process worthwhile. There is a long way to go from the initial inspiration seeing a small watercolour in the window of a gallery in Wells where I thought "I want to do that, to create that other world in paint, in that most unforgiving medium: watercolour." It now presents my most satisfying challenges with the occasional prize result.
