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. Tristram Lansdowne presents architectural structures, botanical forms, and futuristic worlds in his delicately embellished, smooth, and wonderfully detailed watercolour paintings.
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:
“I like a lot of things about it. I like its unforgiving aspects, but I also like that it’s a medium that straddles drawing and painting, that it doesn’t have the same baggage that oil painting has. It’s sort of a lesser medium, you know? Which can be a nice place to start from.”
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!
