I travelled down to Guildford to open the exhibition Brothers in Art:  Drawings by Watts and Leighton at the Watts Gallery in Compton.   Watts and Leighton were friends and neighbours in Holland Park, Leighton calling on Watts most mornings at 9am for a gossip and to keep him up-to-date with what was happening at the RA.   Leighton was an enthusiastic RA, a member of every committee, and elected President in 1878, when he was only 48 (the next youngest PRA was our current PRA elected when he was 59).   Watts was much less keen and had to be endlessly prevented from resigning by Leighton.   But they both shared a great interest in drawing and were, in different ways, very skilled draughtsmen.
