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
Item Date: 1943
