Macao Watercolour Scenery



Macao Watercoulor Scenery

As there was a short trip to Macau with my students, I went to the Museum of Art to see the Macao Watercolour Scenery exhibition. It is an exhibition about the tradition of Macao watercolour landscape paintings.

The art of watercolour painting is best known for its flexibility, colour gradation and intensity of expression. There was a time in the 18th century when the art of watercolours was held in Britain.

Later, it was developed into an independent art form of landscapes and human figure painting before gradually spreading around the world.
