Watercolours
Watercolour is a sophisticated medium. There is no room for mistakes. In his childhood it was the only form of paint that Dad had available. He really began to understand its qualities when he first saw Turner's work at Farnley Hall. After experimenting with it a bit he found that oil paint with its almost sculptural textures suited his form of expression best. So there are not so many examples of watercolour overall in his output.
