Join me to paint a colour field painting. Colour Field painting was developed from the 1950s and 60s, an offshoot of abstract expressionism. Its proponents left behind any kind of representation in favour of paintings where colour took centre stage. Colour field painters would often create large canvases, in simple blocks, often just one or two. This is my take on the theme, but I've gone with a small scale painting in watercolour and used quite a few blocks of colour.
