The Times online offers a video of Frank Whitford discussing with Sir Peter Blake the Kaupthing Singer and Friedlander / Sunday Times Watercolour Competition.
Asked about the particularities of the watercolour medium, Sir Peter answers:
“The main rule is to keep your paper wet as long as you can. So, you are almost painting backward. Instead of applying paint from the beginning, you are remembering that the eye has to remain white until the very end. So, it is a kind of negative process.”
In this interview, Peter Blake discusses:
- His experience as juror for juried art shows,
- The winners of this year competition,
- White in watercolour,
- His work in watercolour
