Will Ashton

Ashton’s watercolour is a harlequin scene of the Roman Catholic church, Saint Nicolas du Chardonnet, in Paris. The vibrant colours bleed into one another, while Ashton’s control of line maintains a sense of structure and perspective. Complete with a bright blue sky, Ashton portrays Paris as an idyllic setting, brimming with colour. The imprecise edges, loose detailing and vibrant palette are evocative of French impressionism.
