Julian Bruere
February 24 2025
Julian Bruere demonstrated at the WSV AGM on February 24th 2025
​
What an insight into a challenging subject and how to combine watercolour's spontaneous qualities with specific details.
The audience was given an insight into Julian’ process as he effortlessly brought to life a complex maritime image.
Boats are one of Julian’s obsessions. he loves the stories, the character and intricacies of the rigging and elegance of the sails and the time in our history when these boats ruled the oceans with far more style than the container ships of today.
​
You can watch Julian at work on this video and see some of his techniques that allow precise detail and effortless application.

Echo Wu enchanted WSV members with a demonstration of her brush skills.
She produced three different works showing the subtle nuance of her brush technique, She showed effortlessly how to create an impression without detail and how to keep an energized, lively interpretation of her subject.
Thanks Echo for a masterful demonstration.

Brendan Lovelock
April 28 2025
Brendan Lovelock presented a fabulous talk about colour, how it is perceived, the structure of colour dynamics, saturation, hue and a little about pigment to WSV meeting in April.
​
​Brendan Lovelock intrigued and informed the WSV members about colour from a scientific, theoretical and emotional level. His colour expertise gave us a glimpse into how and why colour works as it does and listed resources, (books and websites) he uses and finds helpful for a number of different approaches. These can be viewed when needed to add to our knowledge or provide direction for further research.
A truly empowering and informative session.

Enjoy this video of the evening.

Ben Winspear
March 2024 Permission to Play Meeting
Ben played along with a Fredrix watercolour Panel a rigid fine canvas surface. For this challenge he was given very few colours and Inks along with markers and pencil. The results tell their own story as potential is huge with calligraphic brush work and perhaps varying degrees of wetness as the board does not absorb a lot of moisture.
Definitely not like working on paper.
Thanks for "Playing Along" with the challenge .
