About the Item

Tertiaries Colour Exercise Gouache 20 x 25 cm Provenance: The family of A. E. Halliwell This vibrant abstract composition explores the harmony of tertiary colours through interwoven ribbons and bold geometric forms. Rich hues of orange, green, and purple flow dynamically across the canvas, illustrating the blending of primary and secondary colours. Highlighted swatches—brown, citreon, and olive—underscore the nuanced relationships at play. A striking visual exercise in colour theory, this piece balances structure and movement with elegance.
