    I really like this painting but don't know that much about styles.
    Is this expressionist?

    here is his bio

    Goodhue, Charles
    American (1915-2005)

    Goodhue was born in Leominster, Massachusetts on November 24, 1915, and studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, the Massachusetts College of Art, the New England School of Art, and the Rhode Island School of Design. In 1941, he married his wife, Eleanor, also an artist, and they settled in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where they opened their own advertising agency. In 1976, Goodhue retired to Georgetown, Maine, and turned to his art full-time.

    Think I'd call it tonalist but someone else may disagree.

    It may be a mixture of watercolour pencil and watercolour wash.

    This is my Grandpa Charlie. He was the best granpa ever. This is a watercolor and ink, likely pencil marks underneath. Sometimes he used the edge of a razor to move colors, create lines. he would touch the paper lightly and pull color (inks) without cutting the surface.
