in other words, as in this drawing, watercolor, we can see actual lines. they vary. you have thin lines. you have very thick lines. for example, the figures here have very agitated and excited lines. these are very straight lines. but they create the illusion and suggest volume. they suggest shape and form. line can also be implied, and that takes practice. it takes a considerable amount of work in order to be able to discern the implied lines because they're not actually drawn on the painting. they're not included there, and they're not easily discernible. the implied line, for example here, suggests the arrangement of the buildings in such a way that the artist is indicating depth. so we are addressing implied lines suggest perspective, the system of linear perspective and the way in which all the parallel lines appear to be converging towards a centric point in this work. when we look and continue with implied line, let's look at vermeer's painting of a girl seated behind a desk. there are no actual, clearly defined lines. you can identify shape. you can identify

it was a silk screen watercolor, about 8 feet long.n terms of the flatwork, i work with a lot of cloddish. so being able to cut into it come at into it, removed parts, it is part of the process of negotiating the final form. >> how do you jump from the two dimensional work that you create to the three-dimensional? maybe going back from the 3f to 2d. >> everything is in the process of becoming. things are never said or settled. the sculptures are being made while i am doing the collages, and vice versa. it becomes a part of something else. there's always this figuring out of where things belong or where they could parapets something else. at the end goal is to possibly see one of these collage plans be built out and create a structure that reflects back into the flat work. >> thank you so much for allowing "culturewire" to visit this amazing facility and to learn more about the artists in residence program. is there anything you like our viewers to know? >> we have art exhibitions every four months, and a win by the public to come out.

when i first saw this watercolor, i thought, hmm i'm a bit disappointed by the look of that.en i thought the faces look a bit disappointed but then, when you study them more carefully, you can see that this is an illustrator who's got a most beautiful finish, a clarity, trying to impart information not just about people generally but about the situation. what's going on. there seems to be a box of gold or jewelry or something that they're discussing. almost certainly this is painted in cuba, which is where the artist was working. if it were in really, really good condition it would be one of the most exciting pictures i've ever seen on the roadshow. but it's not, unfortunately. tell me, did you catch anything that day? only a flat flounder that was just spent. how big was it? could've been a specimen if it wasn't spent. in other words it had spawned. that would've been me only luck other than pickin' them up. well, you netted something else that day. you got a picture worth up to £30,000. ( spectators gasping ) bingo! well, that's nice. that's lovely. you don't have to cry li

it's amazing being up here in scotland and looking at a watercolor like this because it's like one ofthe glasgow school. the glasgow school. at the bottom here we have a signature. and it's by johan. and an almost unpronounceable middle name, which is zoetelief tromp. he's an artist that was born in indonesia so dutch east indies and came over and studied in holland in the hague. because he was born in the 1870's, this would have been painted probably about 1910, 1920. but it's extraordinary to find this picture which is so like the scottish watercolors really, of the glasgow school, over here. so how did a dutch painting like this land up here? well, according to my uncle, it was bought by his father, my grandfather probably in the 1930's. it was certainly bought in dundee but we know no more about it than that. i just love the composition. when you look at it, it's a little girl on the swing there and on the left here is the sister, dying to have a go. but she's got to wait her turn. and i think she's rather impatient. but when you look at a picture like this, which is impressionist

he was much printed from and the prints are sometimes very confusingly like watercolors.they're going to be until i look at them through a magnifying glass. and i've done that and they're absolutely fine. as you knew already, of course. yeah. very often behind the best jokes is a very, very clever slick delivery and it's the same with artists. with a really good joke, they're extremely difficult to tell, and behind is usually a great genius or a great skill. and lawson wood's one of those. so what's happenin this is a family. there's dad, asleep, there's mum, asleep, and the children are mucking about with the milk bottle. and this one is pulling that one down, having stolen its milk. so there is that one hiding behind the tree. is that right? that's right, yeah. it's pretty complicated. unraveling them all is a bit difficult, yeah. any idea of value at all? i have no idea at all. i did have my doubts as to whether it might be a print. and so if they're originals and he was very, very famous i haven't a clue. well, put it this way: if you had to go to a west end dealer to

albert and madeira's stunning watercolors brought the harsh beauty of the central desert to the world and helped make it a symbol of australian identity. the renowned artist died in 1959. -- albert namatjira. >> we have all the main stories on our website, bbc.com. thanks for watching. >> make sense of international news at bbc.com/news. >> funding for this presentation is made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu. newman's own foundation. and union bank. >> at union bank, our relationship managers work hard to understand the industry you operate in, working to nurture new ventures and help provide capital for key strategic decisions. we offer expertise and

not a professional job either-- there was some dresden untouched, a couple of edward lear watercolors on the wall and what looked like some valuable first editions on the shelves. a proper vandal would have smashed all the dresden and peed all over the floor at least. conclusion? a gentle warning for the good professor? unless she did it herself. try and depict herself as a victim, perhaps. anyway, what you been up to all day? plowing through old student journalism trying to make a case for joe myers as our killer. myers that's taken over playing shylock? why? the quotations by the bodies, one from hamlet one from a midsummer night's dream. myers is the only one in our gang who was in both productions. and on both occasions amanda costello singled him out for special attention in print. so he murders two people and leaves clues incriminating himself? doesn't make sense. so, then, someone's trying to stitch him up.

and it's a watercolor with... it's suffered a bit over the years, hasn't it?'s got a little bit of browning from age. although it's not that old. >> woman: no, 47 years. >> appraiser: it's dated here 1963, and here's the artist's name there. it's wonderful. and, you know, it's got a sort of "picasso-y" feel to it. it's very modern in its feel. do you like it? >> woman: oh, i love it. i've loved it ever since i was a child. >> appraiser: really? >> woman: yeah. >> appraiser: and now the great thing is the valuation, isn't it? >> woman: yes. >> appraiser: well, i think it's incredibly nice, and because the indian market's changed dramatically, if you brought it to me in 1963, i have to say i'd have probably said £100 pounds. but today i think this is worth sort of £5,000 to 7,000. >> woman: oh my god! >> appraiser: that's not bad. >> woman: no, it's brilliant. >> appraiser: and interestingly, i bet the chairs are not worth anything like that. >> woman: no, i expect not. although we still do have a couple. >> appraiser: oh, do you? >> woman: yeah. >> appraiser: l

these three watercolor sketches are absolutely brilliant. they've got to be by joseph crawhall.ly are. they were given to me by my grandmother, and joseph crawhall was her uncle. well, that's wonderful. so there's some great family history. it's incredibly rare to find works by joseph crawhall. he was a genius at draftsmanship absolute precocious perfectionist, and extraordinary to find them here in lanhydrock rather than in scotland and with the association with the glasgow school. when i first started in the art world when i was 16 i was looking forward to getting my driving test. when i got it, i borrowed my mother's volvo and one of the first things i did was drive right up to scotland on my own and visit all these marvelous museums-- kelvingrove, edinburgh bidborough collection. the glasgow boys really started about the 1880s and were influenced by bastien lepage in france and so you get this real great sense of painting outdoors square brushstrokes, similar to herbert letang. a number of british artists were also painting similar scenes. and the glasgow boys were certainly

and you've also brought this wonderful little watercolor painting.rold wade from preston in lancashire. that is the room that we lived in all the time we were in japan. in the prison camp itself? correct, that is the prison camp. and you've got a window out onto rather a beautiful view it looks like and this is the view? this painting here? it is. i have to say, it's an extraordinarily beautiful view and it just makes me think that you're looking at paradise outside of your window from the hell inside the window. and you've also brought along this map. now, i'll tell you the one thing that i notice about this map is that you've got hiroshima highlighted. of course, the first atomic bomb was dropped at hiroshima but why have you highlighted that? i was about 50 miles away from it. is your camp located on here? yes, with the little arrow there. it's this one here? and you were on-- what's that island called? enoshima. enoshima. enoshima. well, you must've heard the explosion then. not a thing. there was a dockyard one side and a dockyard that side and
