Watercolours and drawings-Art Museum

Finally! I could go to the museum I wanted to go since April.
I love watercolours rather than oil paintings so when I saw advertisement on newspaper I was so excited.

But the museum is little far from my place and even I saw the address...could not tell where the location in the city.

So I called my friend who lives in that city Okazaki. She loves art and did not know about exhibition so she offer to pick me up at the station and go together.

 

It was GREAT!! in Japan, I never feel tired during tour.(seeing paintings)

But this time for the very first time I had to take a break.

Paintings come from The Whitworth Art Gallery. 

This exhibition presents a panorama of British watercolour painting as it evolved over the course of a

century and a half, bringing together more than 150 works by over 70 leading British artists

including Paul Sandby, William Blake, J.M.W. Turner, and John Everett Millais etc.

4月からずっと行きたいと思っていた「巨匠たちの英国水彩画展」についに行くことが出来ました！岡崎に住むお友達が駅まで迎えに来てくれて一緒に行ってくれたのです。ありがたい！

油絵よりも水彩画が好きなので今回は久しぶりに見ごたえのあるもでした。日本の美術館で

見ている最中に疲れて休むということはまずないのですが、今回は疲れました・・・本当に沢山の作品が展示されているのです。瞬きをなるべくしないで見ていたので途中で目薬も必要になるほど・・・すばらしい！の一言です。次は島根県の美術館に移動するみたいです。
