From reflections to sunsets, skin to waves, it\u2019s a challenging medium not only due to the translucent layers, but also because it\u2019s so quick to dry. There\u2019s no way to get a \u201cre-do\u201d with brush strokes like you can with oils.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Works of Art in New Orleans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From a historic perspective, watercolor is also very delicate\u2014it can\u2019t be exposed to light for very long or the pigment will fade rapidly. That\u2019s why this exhibit is so rare and on display for a short amount of time. There are about 70 paintings by famous and unknown artists alike. Discover the beauty of works by Alfred Jacob Miller, Joseph Richards, Walter Anderson, and more.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find genre paintings, advertisements, landscapes, portraits, and of course Mardi Gras inspired works. Paint boxes, watercolor trays and original sketchbooks are also featured. Stop by Tuesday through Saturday between 9:30 and 4:30 at the gallery on Chartres Street.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t miss the exhibit Awash with Color: Seldom-Seen Watercolor Paintings by Louisiana Artists (1789-1989), a free event at the Laura Simon Nelson Galleries for Louisiana Art.
