EDITORIAL:
Summer’s over, and you’ve probably gone back to... the workshop! For many watercolourists, summer is not necessarily a time of creation, but rather a time for discovery and learning. It is a time when you can visit the many fairs and exhibitions that flourish in this season, attend demonstrations and – who knows? Perhaps take part in workshops provided by your favourite artists. With your mind full of these visual experiences, autumn and winter are then spent in research, reflection and the search for new artistic paths that will lead to painting new watercolours. See and learn. It is by keeping these two dimensions in mind that this lastest issue of ‘The Art of Watercolour’, like previous ones, offers you the possibility of observing and contemplating the best of contemporary watercolour, whatever the approach and style adopted by artists around the world. You can also learn from their advice, because in watercolour as in many other areas: progress and improvement come with practice. You have probably noticed for some time now: watercolour is becoming more and more international. There are countless exhibitions inviting artists from all over the world and the number of watercolourists eager to travel the globe to give a workshop or a demonstration is steadily growing. Are we witnessing the emergence of an international style in watercolour? Can this lead to a certain form of standardisation? Your opinions on this subject are more than welcome! Finally, as we go to press, we have learnt of the passing away of Sandra Walker, an artist of American origin who had lived in Great Britain for many years. In addition to her great career as an artist, influenced by hyper-realism, she had been part of the team of the American Democratic Senator Edward M. Kennedy. We devoted a long article on her in the 14th issue of ‘The Art of Watercolour’. Our thoughts go out to her family and friends.
