RI Exhibition at the Mall Galleries

Tea break at the RI Exhibition

This afternoon I visited The 198th Annual Exhibition of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, which opened last week and continues at the Mall Galleries until 1st May.

It's a splendid exhibition - which will get a review tomorrow on Making A Mark

In the meantime, here's my sketch done during my 'cup of tea' break `at the exhibition. I'm sat just beneath the books area looking down the length of the West Gallery.

Some marvellous and colourful paintings by Bob Rudd of Iona and various other islands in the Hebrides feature on the end wall.

  1. Very nice indeed, Katherine. I think there is a little book in 'Taking Tea in Galleries' :)

  6. I love the sketch here and the two below...especially that gorgeous view of the city. You seem to know how to do plein air sketches...sketch followed by lunch with the group and a bit of sharing and comparing!
