Four professional artists create pictures under the eye of the camera and talk about the material for which they have not only a need, but a passion - paint.
Elizabeth Blackadder (watercolour): 'It's just a feeling of the paint itself, the "stuff" of paint, the transparency of watercolour ...'
Bert Irvin (acrylic): 'I love the feel of paint, I mean there is a sense in which every painting is a celebration and the paint is a means to the end.'
Robin Philipson (oil colour): 'Paint can almost find its way from the brush on to the canvas because the touch is so light....'
David Tindle (egg tempera): 'Everybody says "why do you paint in tempera?" - because I love the dry pigment-it actually gets me going ...'
