Phillips would make watercolour sketches in front of the subject (as I think Ethel Kirkpatrick did) and the prints he made in England have realistic colouring whereas the ones he made of English subjects after he returned do not. I wonder why. You are not the only person to diasgree with this point; someone else did so privately. Ethel Kirkpatrick was also picked up at the time for her unrealistic palette (particularly her famous and outrageous use of mauve) but like Phillips she was also quite capable of imitating nature.Haji babahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10619515066447546979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195425069670824214.post-50550229320138310042012-03-22T15:28:02.239+00:002012-03-22T15:28:02.239+00:00Hi Charles,
