Read the text and questions below. For each question choose the correct letter A B C or D. 1 point Craigie Aitchison The painter Craigie Aitchitson 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 kept on 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. 1. What is the writer trying to do in the
