BRIAN ATYEO

Jurying is the process which is based on the Jurors evolving knowledge.

My decisions will be based on – an understanding of the effective use of composition – how the chosen medium/mediums support the composition and whether the Artists intent – is brought to content in the painting.

I have juried both Nationally and Internationally – and am honoured to be part of the growth of The Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour – and its members.
