Watercolour was Hawksley’s favourite medium, with which she evolved a schematic style of ‘flat, unshaded effects’ that is highly personal, though strongly influenced by Japanese prints and the watercolours of her friend, Frederick Cayley Robinson. She used herself, her sister-in-law and a lay figure she nicknamed ‘Enid’ to model. Her work is quiet, feminine in theme and delicate in execution.
