Rising illustrator of children’s books Lily Snowden-Fine has had one of her works selected for the prestigious 2020 exhibition by the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours

Ian Sidaway is a prolific painter of landscapes in watercolours. Ian was due to speak about his use of sketchbooks in the gallery during the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours 208th Exhibition. Now that none of us are allowed out, whatever the weather, Ian has shared some images from his sketchbooks with us here.

Though the gallery is closed to the public Mall Galleries remains busy and open online. This month we have been celebrating the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours.

For several years Tony Hunt RI has taken informal tours round Mall Galleries to view and comment on the works on show for the Annual Exhibition of the RI. "With the galleries closed this year, it was suggested that I might like to take a virtual tour of the exhibition to go online. Now as I travel with my mouse through the exhibited images on my computer screen, my intention is to respond to those paintings that particularly catch my eye: and leave a few words in response."
