One of many things which struck me when viewing “The Natural Eye 2017” exhibition of wildlife artwork is how exciting, vibrant and totally stimulating the Art is – by no means thoughts the subject material. Wildlife may be the topic and the main target – however what interests my eye is the sheer selection and thrilling use of media, kinds, approaches and techniques plus the quality of execution in the assorted methods of constructing artwork! It’s an exhibition I always look ahead to and it very not often disappoints.
It definitely lives up to its typical high standards this year. Part of the exhibition within the Threadneedle Space. I don’t all the time really feel the identical means at every exhibition I visit at the Mall Galleries. There are 364 artworks on show at the Mall Galleries until 1pm on twenty ninth October – with members of the society demonstrating within the galleries on most days. This post is my overview of the exhibition. VIDEO: Wildlife Field Study sketches by the SWLA within the projects part of the exhibition (in the North Galleries).
If this is the first submit you have learn, be aware there’s lots extra photographs in these two posts! What did I notice this yr? As above – the range and the standard of the artwork is excellent. I believed the exhibition looked a bit more “birdy” than normal this year – however I’ve had an explanation which is smart to me. As always with wildlife the place artwork is just not produced from pictures, you also need an excellent set of binoculars or telescope for seeing your subject material from a distance which suggests they behave naturally.
It’s always fascinating in this exhibition to see each the sketches, sketchbooks and the examine sheets. There have been some nice photographs and various kinds by way of these exhibiting studies. The sculpture is, as always, numerous and wonderful. I believe it is the primary time I’ve seen a bear with cubs and I’m additionally pretty sure it is the primary time I’ve seen a Pangolin.

What I get pleasure from is the natural look of the 3D subject material. Some of the watercolour painting is top of the range. In my opinion it exceeds in high quality that seen in the watercolour competitions and exhibitions of the watercolour societies. Some watercolour competition judges have to be launched to exemplary demonstrations of watercolour – and it seems to me that Darren Woodhead’s work can be a great place to begin!
I’m at all times massively impressed with whatever Darren Woodhead produces. It’s as if he is at all times difficult himself on a “less is more” dimension – and simply how little paint he needs to use to create the painting he desires to make. The fact that he creates all his paintings ‘in the sphere’ makes them all the extra impressive!
I adore watercolours the place there isn’t a light edge, it is advised by means of the standard of the design and composition and what will get painted and what will get left. His watercolour paintings are nearly minimalist in a zen like means. A Graduate of the Royal College of Art, he works direct in brush and watercolour outdoors: there isn’t a studio. The printmaking on display is numerous, numerous and completely first class – at every stage by way of approach and measurement. There appears to be every form of high quality art printmaking on show somewhere in the gallery.

Her prints are pressed on Hettie which is “an original 1859 Henry Watts Albion Press, Patent quantity 937”. I like the very fact she also identifies the place she saw the topic of her print on her web site! Little grebes, often known as Dabchicks, move from the sea-lochans onto recent water to breed.
