PORTRAIT IN PRIMARY COLOURS

Watercolour on paper
20.6 x 27.6 inches
52.2 x 70 cm (framed)

Chris posed for our life-class one summer’s day, looking grave and dignified, as befits a retired police officer.  So, we did our utmost to make him smile – his expression sits somewhere betwixt the two expressions!  The challenge my art teacher, put to me (the late, well-known-loved John Paige) was to paint in three primary watercolours without mixing them!
