To a large extent, the history of the Institute is the history of modern watercolour painting in Australia.

Quotation:

"Hi Graham...Have just spent the last hour or so looking at your website and enjoying your work immensely. 

Congratulations on your unique vision and your courage to pursue art in your qwn wqy. 

Each medium is used as your means of expression , each one used to take advantage of its individual qualities,

all adding up to a very well-rounded artist. Chen Chi NA, renowned Chinese-American, said

"Never call yourself an Artist, wait for somebody to tell you.

"Graham, I'm telling You! Well done and warmest regards, Bob Wade"

- Robert Wade OAM, Australian Watercolour Artist

 

Quotation

Graham Austin, recipient of over thirty awards for his paintings,

refers to his work as 'spotillism', as distintt from pointillism' and of course 'dot painting'.

Layering his work to develop topographical dimension, or a sense of the depth in

water and sand, he builds a very modern impressionist report on the unmistakable Australian Landscape.

Greatly individualist, his work shows where life makes itself abundant in

valleys and tributaries, and how currents create rhythmic patinas on such an immense yet

subtle scale that man can only hope to communicate the feelings such work inspires in him.

Graham does, and the audience is left in a similar sense of awe, as his work adds to the experience.

Like the judges in the numerous competitions he has been awarded, we are left with respect for his clear mastery with brush and canvas.

The beautifully constructed landscapes, with opulent canopies of bush and rocks, hide what is clearly lying beneath.

A draughtsman of infinite skill and determination accurately describing every element he can.

---Bevin Hudson, Rushcutters Bay Gallery
