Charles reid figure paintings
His figures are beautifully rendered, in a simple, direct and natural, gestural manner that reveals his interest in painting the light as much as the person.
Very fine watercolour figure paintings, loose and dynamic, combining expressive drawing and brushwork of great dexterity without loosing the essential character of the medium..
