Afternoon Carolyn, your pictures are beautiful! The frosty and foggy mornings are so dreamlike... Very interesting the interview with Janette. Hearing that confirmed artists like you and her sometimes think they are not sure whether they'd be able to do "another such-like piece" is reassuring. In the UK watercolour has always been very well considered which is (was?) not the case in France or in Belgium. I learned the (very strict) technique with a very good teacher and I'm happy about it but as you say in the interview we now like to go looser (a question of age maybe...?🤔🤫😅). But, my question is: who is going to interview YOU...?
Afternoon - glad you enjoyed the post and Janette's interview. Yes, on the whole, watercolour as a medium, is getting more recognition, rather than just being thought of as a Sunday afternoon pastime, but some of the more snobby art galleries still look down their noses at it! But who wants work in those types of places anyway!! Haha, as to being interviewed....!! x
Have a lovely week xx
You too! Fingers crossed that the weather improves; it's been rain, rain, rain here!!
Same here…

Oh I thought watercolour was better recognised in the UK, with Turner and others. It’s a legend then…
Oh it's just some of the stuffy white wall galleries that are a bit snobby about it. xx
