It never ceases to amaze me how vibrant the watercolour scene is in many other countries outside Europe. It seems to me watercolour is considerably more popular and all sorts of events involving watercolour seem to be taking place. The standard is also very high.

Thank you Ann, Ray and Suchi.
Very nice painting ! Is the first one, a view from Nepal ?
Hi Peter, just an additional comment here as I wondered if you may have thoughts on this. I bought a Winsor & Newton Professional watercolour tube the other day. Went for 'professional W&N' rather than an SAA one - RAW UMBER. I was expecting to get a paint that was on the dark side, but to my surprise it is more like a dull Raw Sienna (tinged with green but only very slightly so). Now, my question, have they got the shade wrong and don't realise, or is this something that has always been this shade and I've been buying Raw Umber before (dark shade) that has been wrong? Many thanks...ann
Difficult question Ann. I think the shade you have for W & N Raw Umber is the one Handprint describes going back some time. Apparently shades across the earth colours do vary considerably, which is my experience also. It's a question of finding one you like and sticking to it.
Thanks Bia. I believe it is Nepal.
I wondered that too, with all the paints I have had over the years, I have never come across one that is So Different to what one expects. Many thanks for answering my question Peter, much appreciated.
very interesting I just found your posts. I've been admiring NB Nurung's work on FB. I'm surprised you haven't included Alvaro Castagnet, originally from Uruguay....fantastic watercolor painter. I took a workshop with him about 10 plus years ago in Oaxaca....excellent. Donna
Thanks for commenting Donna. I have featured at least two of Alvaro Castagnets paintings in previous posts - the next selection will be the 20th. I aim to have a mixture of the well-known and the lesser known but don't have a formula just off the cuff.
