The portrait work of Charles Reid, his style is loose and his choice of colours are more about composition and the balance of warm and cool colours rather than that going for something more naturalistic. However the you tube videos of his demos that I was able to find don't include any of the alternative techniques (non-brush) that we have come across...
The second artist that better represents experimental techniques is John Blockley, his uses bold earthy colours washing back the paint from the surface
Other artists that have in my view do not have a traditional approach or perhaps do not produce the sort of work I immediately think of when considering watercolours.
Ann Blockley (John's daughter), Flowers using the alternative techniques covered in the first section of this course
Shirley Trevena, bright colours still life with abstract (cubist?) qualities
Jean Haines, Balance of detailed and unresolved areas of the painting
In the following study I am trying to use add some of techniques and an thinking of leaving areas of the painting unresolved (left hand side of face)
