Paint (not on paper) like an artist? (15)
I believe the answer is:
temperamentally
'paint not on paper like an artist?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'paint not on paper like' is the wordplay.
'paint' becomes 'tempera' (type of paint).
'not on paper' becomes 'mental' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'like' becomes 'ly' (similar in meaning).
'tempera'+'mental'+'ly'='TEMPERAMENTALLY'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
