I. Read the text and questions below For each question, choose the correct letter A,B,C or D
( 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 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 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 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

A He likes starting with the darkest colors first
B He knows the colors he’s aiming for when he begins C He prefers to paint with yellows, greens, and browns D He understands how different colors work together Aitchison prefers models who don’t
A keep talking to him while he’s working B ask him about his strange method of working C worry about how long the work will take D feel anxious to see the work as it’s developing
5 What might a visitor at an exhibition say about Aitchison’s work? A I love his recent paintings of Scotland,
which are very similar to a number of other Scottish painters
B You can still see the influence of his
