Ravilious

Excellent exhibition of work by Eric Ravilious at the Dulwich Picture Gallery.  He had a really unusual watercolour technique using cross hatching with dry brush.  The pictures almost look like etchings or lithographs.  Lots of the pieces were from the Second World War when he served as a war artist and sadly died on active service.

More information about the exhibition which runs until 31st August here
