This watercolour painting shows a school in Shrewsbury, with a tall clock tower and a stone wall in front. The building is light-coloured, and the sky is grey. The artist has used soft colours to create a peaceful atmosphere. The painting is quite simple, but it gives a sense of the school's architecture. If you want to learn more about this style of painting, look up the Romanticism movement.
