Watercolours by Edward Bawden (1903 – 1989, British).

"Edward Bawden (1903-1989) thought of himself as a designer, not an artist. A respected British book illustrator and printmaker, his commercial designs for clients including Fortnum & Mason and Shell, are rightly prized as classics. But as the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London argues, his fine art has been unfairly neglected. The gallery’s new exhibition, which features his paintings alongside his book illustrations, posters and graphic designs, ought to change that. The most comprehensive exhibition since his death, it argues that Bawden reinvented the watercolour for the 20th century.

Bawden is best known for his witty approach to linocut, a printing technique similar to woodcut, which he elevated into a respected medium. But as the exhibition reveals, Bawden was fascinated by watercolour. While he was at the Royal College of Art (rca), Bawden, his friend and fellow art student, Eric Ravilious, and their tutor, Paul Nash, rediscovered the British watercolourists of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. At the time – this was the 1920s – the restrained style of artists like Francis Towne and John Sell Cotman seemed refreshingly modern after decades of “blob” and “swash”, one critic’s disparaging terms for the loose style that grew out of Impressionism. In their own work, Bawden and his circle began to combine clean lines and precisely applied colour with stencilling and collage, and to borrow techniques from oil painting such as stippling, where the canvas is dotted with many small specks. In their hands, watercolour drawing went from fusty to fresh."

S2E8: DIY Art School Part 5 (Workspace and Equipment)

• To understand the basics (perspective, anatomy, cross contours, rendering, etc.) all the equipment you need is a pencil, paper, and an eraser. Or a basic drawing tablet with basic drawing software. ↳ Even if you want to be a painter, it's much easier to learn the fundamentals with a pencil and not paint.

• You don't need all the tools you see experts using. ↳ Just because you see a race car driving riding around in a $500,000 car, it doesn't mean they learned to drive in it.

• Even if you're a filmmaker, you can get started by standing up in front of a group of people and trying to entertain them. It only costs as much as the clothes you're wearing. You don't need fancy equipment to learn storytelling.

• Painting can be expensive. You can start with a wash, walnut ink, watercolor or something cheap. You can learn a lot about lights and darks, being comfortable with a brush, etc without spending a ton of money. Even using just white and burnt umber which are cheap colors.

• Some limitations make you more creative and you learn to adapt. One of Marshall's students didn't have a car and took the bus everyday. He brought his sketchbook, drew people, and became a great observer.

• The library is a great place to get work done.
