The Screes, Wastwater is a 1950 watercolor by Lintott, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a steep, rocky slope with layers of dark, jagged stones. The cliffside is rough and uneven, while the ground below is flat and light-colored, almost sandy. The colors are muted—greys, browns, and faint blues—giving it a quiet, earthy feel. The artist used soft washes of watercolor to blend the shadows and light on the rocks. It’s simple but precise, focusing on the shape and texture of the landscape. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
