JJ Hilder’s watercolours can be seen as refinements of the natural world eliminating all but the essence of the moment, leaving one’s imagination to complete the subject. The artist’s command of blue — said by fellow artist Lionel Lindsay to be ‘the most difficult of all colours on the palette to manage’ — was remarkable.
