Clive Wilson is an acclaimed watercolour artist. He has travelled all over the world and explored many rich cultures. The effects of atmosphere, temperature and light are my special interest, – particularly back-lit subjects using rich colour and interesting reflected lights in the shadows to make the picture sing. To many people, pure watercolour is the most beautiful and expressive of painting media – translucent , infinitely subtle, luminous… Perfect for capturing the fleeting qualities of atmosphere, temperature and light. In watercolour, rich, deep shadows are developed by drawing with a very wet brush, dipped in colours straight from the tube, washed into each other. I developed this technique while painting the temples of Angkhor, needing to work fast to capture the fast-changing light.
