AMERTCtN Va TER COLOR PAINTERS.

The eleventh annual exhibition OF the
American Water Color Society will ba opened
to the public to- morrow. ut the Academy OF De-
sign. As regards the number Of works exhibited
1t is perhaps superior to any OF its predecessors.
In respect of the quality of the works themselves
We are unable to see any marked improvement
over the last two or three years. In view Of the
enthusiasm with which water color drawing
was taken up by artists and amateurs decade
ago. this result Is somewhat disappointing.
The facility with which this branch OF painting
can be pursued seemed to insure It's rapid de-
velopment. To the amateur 1t presented do
main as wide rs It was easily worked and fascl-
mating. BY a few rapid touches the professional
artist could make it produce effects not always
attainable through the medium OF oil painting
But II must be confessed that neither class Of
workers has realized the expectations enter
tanned Of them Water color drawing has not
been developed to that degree Of excellence
ent exhibition merely n considerable number OF
works. few OF which are Of positive excellence
or even OF promise.
Genre has gained but an uncertain foot
hold among American painters and those
who affect water coOrs. Judged by their
works In the present exhibition. have done very
little 10 vindicate their claim to rank as masters
