occasional thoughts when I feel I have something worthwhile to say!

Many times over my years of teaching painting, I’ve said to people, “Don’t fuss about trying to improve a dodgy painting, do a new one and do it better.” But......that is not always the best advice – sometimes a painting only needs a little tuning to turn it from a failure to a winner!
So.... my latest DVD “Enjoying painting 4” is about just that – learning how to critique your own work and then knowing what to do to improve a disappointing painting. I know I have been through the frustration of a failed painting many times over the years so I know what I’m talking about! But I have also enjoyed the sweet taste of success when I have re-thought and rectified the problem. It’s now available on the DVD page on my website and can be purchased as a disc or a download. I trust you will enjoy it and it will be a real help in your painting. I’ve just realised – we’re about to enter 2018. I’m looking forward to it and I’m hoping it will be a year of great progress and fulfilment for all of us. Just briefly, I should mention one of the highlights of this year for me. In November, ten painters gathered in Glenorchy. They came from England, California, Australia, and New Zealand. We had a fantastic two weeks together enjoying painting the beautiful landscape around us. I felt honoured to be among such a group and I certainly hope it can happen again – perhaps even on a yearly basis. Thanks guys!

Follow UsWhat People Are SayingInformative instruction and demonstration from a highly skilled artist. When you see John's paintings you know that he has spent many years honing his art. His mastery of colour, tone, brushwork and composition instills confidence that he knows what he talking about as a teacher. Highly recommended." |
