Welcome to Watermarks!

Welcome to Watermarks!

Watermarks is a small community of artists who create art from water. We like to sketch, draw and/or paint all forms of water - the sea, the coastline, beaches, rivers, streams, waterfalls, fountains - in all styles, genres and media.

With this brand new group blog we aim to:

• display works in progress as well as completed art
• highlight other artists (past and present) whose art involves water
• highlight exhibitions of relevant artwork and
  
• discuss media matters and tips and techniques for creating art out of water
