Grahame Booth paints exclusively in watercolour and as well as exhibiting widely, teaches watercolour at a number of workshops throughout Ireland, France and Portugal. He is in demand as a watercolour demonstrator for Art Clubs and is a visiting tutor at Art Club and Art Centre workshops. Painting in a free and loose style, with a limited palette, he always tries to capture the essence of a subject by simplifying detail and emphasising the light that is all important to a successful painting. He believes that subject matter is unimportant as it is the atmosphere, light and colour in the subject that are the important factors and conse- quently his material includes industrial subjects and interiors as well as more traditional scenes. As a loose realist he aims to capture the essentials of a subject as purely and economically as possible. His work is represented in private and public collections including Belfast City Council, Ulster Independent Clinic and the Office of the Mayor of Annapolis, Maryland. He is Past President of the Ulster Watercolour Society.
