Watercolour and Chinese White for this detailed painting.
Much admired.
Painted some 90 years ago on smooth heavy watercolour paper. Its unframed and the brush marks can be seen in places where Gouache has been used. Colours are clean and clear even after all this time.
It measures 8" x 10"
Many thanks to Richard for the use of it. |

This Oils on canvas, as far as is known, is about 75 years old, varnished but un-framed.
It is now showing some damage due to the age and the brittleness of the
canvas cloth. Whereas the oils on watercolour paper are in a better condition. Choose your surface wisely!
