Watercolour is one of the hardest painting mediums to master. Many factors that need to be considered in watercolour technique, which is difficult to control due to its fluid structure, lead to bad results if the paper is not chosen well, and requires extra care when adjusting the proportions. And yet Tristram Lansdowne is the master of watercolor technique.

In an interview with Hot ‘N’ Gold Magazine, the interviewer asks how his paintings are so controlled and detailed despite the unpredictable nature of watercolor, and what he liked most in the watercolor process, and Tristram Lansdowne replies:

Eyewitness, Tristram Lansdowne’s second solo exhibition with Galerie Nicolas Robert is out recently. You can also check the gallery’s website for the extended exhibition text and visit Tristram Lansdowne’s website and Instagram!

Everyone mixes and mashes what they see and experience but the outcome is always different. Even the same feelings can cause different artworks. …
