SPRING EXHIBITION

MADE IN COLOUR

24 March – 23 April 2016

Bankside Gallery

The Royal Watercolour Society’s Spring Exhibition, Made in Colour celebrates the huge variety of hues, shades and tones available to artists working in water-based media. Whether, transparent, opaque or somewhere in between, watercolour has the ability to be both light and soft or vibrant and bold.   This exhibition will explore the many ways in which the Members of the RWS use colour in their practice.
