Queensland's leading watercolourists will be holding their popular, two day autumn exhibition on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th April 2014 at the beautiful Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens and you're invited to come along and view the many paintings that will be on display.


At the Watercolour Society of Queensland's Exhibition you can surround yourself with luminous landscapes, atmospheric seascapes, bold abstracts, striking portraits and thoughtful still lifes. All works in the exhibition are originals by accomplished artists. The works have been either beautifully framed or left unframed with mats so you can choose your own framing to match your decor. All paintings are for sale at realistic and affordable prices.


**Opening times: 10am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday, 12th & 13th April

Watercolour is probably the most popular of artistic mediums. For the art lover it presents beautiful and delicate effects of light and texture and for the painter it offers the convenience of working with brushes, paints and paper without the need for extensive preparations and finishes. Some of art history's most notable watercolourists include the 16th Century German painter Albrecht Durer and the 19th Century Romantic visionary, J M W Turner.
