John Lines RSMA

Statement

John Lines' mission is simply to paint through honest eyes.

Methodology

John works mainly in oils, and to a smaller extent in watercolour. He prefers to paint ‘on the spot’ but also produces large studio work every so often. John uses all the tools a traditional painter uses, and keep it as simple as possible so as to work as fast as possible when outside. He does no sketching but dives straight in with paint to work towards a finish as soon as possible. John does just a few commissions a year as he feels they restrict your emotions a little.
