FLINT (Sir William Russell, R.A., 1880-1969, Artist and Illustrator)

Fine Autograph letter signed to an unnamed correspondent thanking him for his letter and for your “very complimentary interest in my water-colour paintings. I do not give lessons, I never have, it is quite impossible for me to give you any instruction I fear. I am amused by your reference to my ‘transparent settlement washes’ & I have to confess that I have never heard of Guptill’s book. One piece of w-colour advice - use big brushes, the best paper & plenty water...”, 2 sides 8vo., Peel Cottage, Campden Hill Road, W8 headed paper, 17th June

Flint was elected president of Britain's Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours (now the Royal Watercolour Society) in 1936 to 1956, and knighted in 1947
