New Zealand in Watercolour

Description

New Zealand in Watercolour showcases a selection of beautiful paintings by 30 of the country's leading watercolour artists. Four or five paintings from each contributor are displayed, accompanied by captions from the artists themselves that explain their technical and emotional approach to the subject, along with a brief artist profile and photo. The subtlety and range of this popular medium are exquisitely reproduced, creating a special collection of artistic perspectives on the New Zealand landscape, people and daily life that will be treasured both by art lovers and by visitors who wish to take away an original memento of a beautiful country.

Returning home, Denis established the first New Zealand design office/creative studio in Wellington. More recently he has held managerial positions in major art dealer galleries in Auckland, and he initiated the inaugural Auckland Art Fair in 2005. Denis currently operates his own art and design consultancy, connecting artists with art lovers. This is his second book with New Holland.
