Charles Collins, as he was known, was born in Hampstead in 1851. He began painting pictures at a very early age starting with landscapes with cattle and figures. He studied at the West London School of Art – but decided the school was damaging his style of painting. In 1876 he was living at Sherwood House, 12 Arundel Road, Dorking and in this year married Georgiana Waddingham at St Martin’s Church. They had nine children together who he often included in his work. Two of his of his sons later became painters. Collins became well known for his figure, rustic and genre paintings in watercolour and oil, but could also work in etching and drypoint. and for many years he illustrated books for the publisher Ernest Nister. He also produced postcards for the same firm.
