This is another set of paintings I like amongst a great mass of others I've downloaded. Some of the styles I wouldn't necessarily want to adopt, or indeed be capable of, but all display, in my humble opinion, great artistic merit.
The great Alvaro Castagnet, a very popular workshop artist. This is Pin MIll in Norfolk, a famous painting location for many artists over the decades.
Genevieve Buchanan an enthusiastic artist, and lovely lady, who I met on a number of Charles Reid workshops.
Chen Hong, one of the large number of excellent Chinese watercolour artists.
Christiane Bonicell - see Facebook.
Helga Berger - prominent on Facebook.
He Jiangu - another from China.
Ian Potts - I know nothing more about this artist, certainly strikingly different.
David Taylor the brilliant Australian Watercolour artist.
Millind Mullick - a superb and prolific artist, also on Facebook
Oleg Kozak - a distinctive style, prominent on Facebook
Michal Jasiewicz - a Polish(?) artist
Orhan Gurel from Turkey - one of the best amongst a vibrant group of Turkish watercolour artists.
Ping Long - another from China or is it Taiwan.
Sterling Edwards - an American artist
The general theme here - not in every instance - leans towards impressionistic loose paintings and I make no apology for this. This is what I like but I can appreciate more detailed paintings. More to come.
