Two great exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum of Art

Yesterday I visited the Brooklyn Museum of Art for the first time, drawn in by the Fine Lines: American Drawings exhibition.  There are only two more weeks left to see this wonderful collection of "over 100 [...] drawings and sketchbooks from the Museum’s world-renowned collection of American art." They range from quick figure sketches, to more developed landscape studies, to very accurate anatomical drawings (see images below).  Another very popular exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum is the John Singer Sargent Watercolors.  Here you will find also close to 100 pieces, some oil paintings, but mostly watercolors.  The surprising element in this exhibition is the instructional side of it, with videos and installations explaining watercolor painting techniques, and an in depth analysis of how these techniques were used by Sargent.  This exhibition runs until July 28, so there is plenty of time to see it.  Enjoy!
