 RWS 'Watercolour Masters - Then & Now'
Authored by The Royal Watercolour Society
Published by Cassells.
In the wake of the successful Watercolour Expert, comes this new volume from Britain's distinguished Royal Watercolour Society, offering a fascinating look into the mind and work of the world’s most illustrious watercolourists, past and present. Brimming with beautiful paintings by the RWS’s masters-from Cotman and Burne-Jones to Singer-Sargent - each is exhibited alongside a current member’s newly generated work that was inspired by the original. Accompanying both are revealing essays on how the new pictures reflect the old, and how both compare in terms of composition, color, tone, draftsmanship, and creating a narrative. Sure to inspire beginners and practiced artists alike. (available from Bankside Gallery)
