One of the youngest painters ever elected to the Royal Academy (an
Associate at the age of 39 in 1969 and a full RA in 1974), Fred
Cuming has been the subject of many one-man shows. Now in his 86th
year, he continues to draw and paint with his accustomed vigour and
zest for life, and an obsessive curiosity about light and
colour.Richard Holmes, in his masterly and sensitive introduction,
describes how Fred belongs 'to the great descriptive tradition of
English Romantic landscape painting which has flourished for two
centuries since Turner and Constable. Essentially a visionary
painter...he has developed the most delicate, painstaking
descriptive techniques...what he really does is to re-invent the
world through colour, it is both a recognizable place, which can be
visited; and yet a completely transformed object of poetic
intensity. His world feels as if it has been dreamt, or remembered
from a dream, suffused with feelings that can never quite be
named.'In this book, Fred expounds his ideas on drawing and
painting. He explains his palette and how he works partly in the
open air and partly in his studios. Remarkable thinking and writing
by a painter who passionately wants to share his experiences and
what he sees in the landscape, on the coastline, and in the sky, as
the seasons change and the weather and light constantly vary
