The Art of Watercolour 24th issue
Our fall issue looks into the professional lives of artists such as David Poxon, who shares « his » world of watercolour, whether it be how to choose an invitation to exhibit, how to avoid pitfalls or how to do your own promotion. Less serious, but just as entertaining, are the stories of these three watercolourists around the world – Sonia Privat, Chien Chung-Wei and Geoffrey Wynne guide us to the places that inspired them. We also introduce you to of Bulgarian artist Kiril Bozhkov, whose whimsy portraits are a must-see. Let’s not forget Alvaro Castagnet, who presents us with new works on the eve of a very important solo exhibition in China, Nuria Meseguer’s underwater dreamworld, and the jewels of Isfahan with Kourosh Aslani. And do not miss Janine Gallizia’s much awaited Know-how feature, on how to improve your technique quickly and effectively.
