What's here? Steve Dunne's Watercolours!
This is the archive of my watercolours.
Watercolour painting is a great pleasure in my life, first discovered early in 2003.
They are painted with ideas drawn from various sources -
some from photographs, some from exercises at Jeremy Taylor's Saltaire workshops,
some based on works in other artist's books, and even some from real life!
(Some of these watercolours are based on works by other artists - my thanks to all of them).
The watercolours are arranged chronologically in galleries, with Gallery 1 showing my first attempts at painting in early 2003.
In late 2003 I started showing my watercolours at the Ilkley exhibitions of the British Watercolour Society.
In Spring 2005 I was elected an Associate, and in Spring 2006 elected a full Member of the British Watercolour Society. |
