Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful exhibition for those of us who can’t travel to see the stunning works on display. I was fortunate to visit the show on a trip to the US a few years ago and I found it the most inspiring watercolour exhibition I’d ever seen. It looks like the works in 2020 continue the same wonderful standards.
After having dabbled in watercolor, I can tell you, these painting reach a level of skill I could only dream of accomplishing. Might sound boring to speak about the composition, but truthfully, a great composition isn't as easy to achieve as one might think. Very enjoyable to see these great works of art!
I have to say something to you. A picture is not about whether the diagonals intersect. Or whether the composition is juxtapositioned. It's about whether the painting speaks to you. Does the face smile. Can you feel it. Are colours glowing. Is it clever, bold, artistic, well drawn. Does it jump off the page. Does it make you want to keep looking at it and wonder how the artist achieved such a fantastic painting. To me, that's great art. It makes my heart sing. You know when it's right, because it's right when you know.
Better to talk about the composition. You know, it’s not so unusual, at that level, to be that good. So... it's useless to talk about that. She did the right thing. The artist studies the composition, not the “feeling”. There are too many people in this world whose heart sings watching not this paint but trivial sunsets or some bad Van Gogh.
An art piece does not “speak to you” without some of the fundamental factors she talked about. The beauty of art is you don’t often realize why a piece “speaks to you.” These are amazing pieces and she did a good job presenting them.
... very little... it's dismaying for me to see, and not only here, that the quasi-totality of the works shown are no more than pedestrian copies of some photo (the "reference")...
The commentary is all waffle about curves, diagonals, straight lines. None of it contrived to be seen by the viewer, just invented by the commentator to babble on.
Por qué es un aficionado el que filma? Lo que nos importa es la pintura no la que explica... a ella se le puede oír...las paredes no nos importan, tampoco los marcos.... enfocar desde un lado... ni un aficionado lo haría! ....debe ser frontal!!! Que pésimo trabajo!!! Creen que todos podemos tomar un avión e ir a ver? O solo es alabar el ego de alguien?
Thank you so much for the commentary. As a new painter I learned so much by listening to your explanations of the compositions.

Wow, it is amazing, so many different approaches to both the medium and composition !!

Need close ups of the paintings, cannot really see their detail.
Thank you just great 👍😀
We don't need to see the lady during her commenting.
Camera man must be face to face with artwork, NOT at an angle to it.
Thank you.
True, no good close shots, seeing the lady with hand movements all the time, poor presentation.
superb.

Those ridiculous face shields
😂😂😂
Seeing you with the Face Shield with no one around you just turned me off and I could not watch the entire video
Beautiful paintings, but commentary was dull

No me gusta casi ninguna, no son temas para una buena acuarela
