My local Art Society had a demonstration from well known UK artist Jake Winkle. Jake paints in a loose style reminiscent of John Yardley. If anyone is offered a demo from Jake it's well worth it and Watercolour students will learn principles like
- Materials he uses
- Composition
- Laying down washes and dropping in colour
- Don't make things repetitive
- Think of warm and cool
- Think about tone
- Timing
- Colour combinations (I think an interesting one was Cobalt Turquoise and Raw Sienna for a grey)
In two hours Jake did 4 paintings. Here they are (they are demonstration paintings and not finished art works). Starting with Jake's iconic animal sketch, then Cadeques, figures and a bunch of flowers.
The paintings in this post are by Jake Winkle.
