6
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
demonstration wash drawing is a 6 watercolor by William Leighton Leitch, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a loose, abstract mix of watercolor shapes. There’s a dark "V" form at the bottom left, a cluster of small squares in bright red, blue, and green at the top, and a wide, smudged cross of purples and browns in the center. The edges are uneven, like the paint was brushed on quickly. The colors blend into each other without clear lines, giving it a soft, dreamy look. It’s not a picture of anything real—just shapes and washes of color. If you like this loose, experimental style, check out William Leighton Leitch.
A wash demonstration drawing by William Leighton Leitch is inscribed on the reverse in ink with the date "W.L. Leitch April 8th 1841."
