Charlotte Verity: Echoing Green: The Printed Year

A poetic compendium of botanical and floral watercolour prints. During the course of 2020, artist Charlotte Verity made more than 100 watercolour monotypes in response to the plants and flowers growing in her London garden. Echoing Green: The Printed Year is the result of a year’s fierce observation of urban nature. Week by week, through a painter’s eye we watch the seasons unfold through technical experimentation, colour and format. Verity’s poetic images are contemplative and spacious, surprising us with their luminosity and intensity of colour. They insist on the enjoyment to be found in simply taking the time to look.
