Frank Collict

Watercolour demonstration

30 May 2023

A great night Tuesday - Frank Collict showed us how he tackles line and wash, using only 4 colours, and a bucketful of talent. His first painting of Salisbury Cathedral, already loosely drawn, quickly transformed into a fabulous artwork. After the break, Frank showed us a much looser painting using a different tool to apply the ink.

His 4 colours were Paynes grey, raw sienna, burnt sienna, and burnt umber. Thanks to Frank for such an inspiring demo full of very useful tips.
