Flint, a famous painter in the British contemporary watercolor circle, was born in Scotland. After graduating from middle school, he worked as an apprentice in a lithography company, and studied at an art academy in his spare time. Since 1907, he has drawn watercolor illustrations for literary masterpieces. Because of his exquisite works, he became a first-class illustrator. In 1913, he joined the Royal Society of Scottish Watercolorists and won the Paris Salon Silver Medal for his illustrations in the book "The Death of King Arthur". Flint was recruited as a member of the Royal Society of Watercolourists in 1914, a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1933, elected President of the Royal Society of Watercolourists in 1936, and knighted in 1947.
Flint is a painter who specializes in body watercolors. Most of his compositions are to add one, two or three nude girls to the seaside and riverside scenery, or young girls with leno on their shoulders, or bathing, or playing. techniques to bring the characters to life on every screen. Because he has mastered the rich knowledge of color transparency, precipitation, easy to mix and difficult to mix, etc., he is very handy in the expression of watercolor. The shape, color, water content and brush use are all well-rounded, which fully shows the ingenious composition and technical skill of the author. He has twice become the president of the Royal Society of Watercolor Painters, which shows his importance in the contemporary watercolor painting industry.
Flint was a realistic painter who didn't fit the modernist genre. He is also the most prominent nude figure painter in the history of watercolor painting. His works such as "The Call of the Sea" and "Out of the Bath" (Sukarno Collection) can all show the author's superb artistic level. The paper used by Flint is a special coarse-grained watercolor paper. Because he is familiar with the properties of pigments and masters a variety of techniques, most of the scenes presented on the screen are clearly visible. The stippling and rendering are more easily accomplished with a single swipe, but precipitation. Texture, brush stroke effect, water control, etc. are all in perfect harmony with the requirements of scene performance. From this, it can be seen that the artist's technical attainments are higher than that of ordinary painters. This kind of large-scale rendering of the rough and qualitative scene is just right to set off the plump, beautiful, graceful and charming young girls. Flint is even more unique in expressing the moist, plump and strong skin of a woman's body. The color change of the sun shining on the skin is elusive. A young girl in a beautiful natural environment, although not in a fairyland, has infinite charm, so it is very popular.
