DescriptionIndia ink; gouache and watercolour on paper, 1959. This is a study of a Lake District barn – the colours, textures and the materials used in its construction. We have the white of the limestone finish; the black of the local granite and the green of Honister Slate. Anybody who knows the area, its beauty and the buildings which are formed from its materials, will applaud the sympathy with which Yates captures this representative Lake District barn.
