                              Craigie Aitchison

The painter Craigie Ai tchitson was born in Scotland. He came to London intending to study law, but

went to art school instead. There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kepton

painting.

In  his  late  twenties,  he  was  given  money  by  the  Italian  government  to  study  art,  and  became interested in early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work. He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.

This led him to paint colors thinly one on top of another from light  to dark, but he insists he’s never

sure what the results will be. He says, “It’s a secret  –  because I don’t know myself. I don’t start by

painting  yellow, knowing I’m going to put anything on top.” Like  most talented people, Atchison

makes it sound easy.  “Anyone  can do the colors  –  you can buy them. I simply notice what you put

the colors next to.”

Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did,he

might get bored and not do the paintings afterwards. Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many

times before they are finished. This explains why his favorite models are people who don’t ask to see

their pictures while he’s painting them. “If I feel they’re worried and want to look at the painting , I

can’t do it.”

Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene. He says he is

not  interested  in  following  any  tradition,  but  just  paints  the  way  he  can.  However,  his  work  still influences young British painters.
