Item Description
watercolor
John McLean was introduced to watercolor painting in his native Ireland by a caring high school teacher. John dabbled with it for the next forty years while pursuing a career in consulting engineering. After retiring, painting took over, and he now strives to paint watercolors that will involve the viewer. His objective is to convey the message with as few brush strokes as possible, saying more with less and inviting the viewer to fill in the gaps from the wealth of their own experiences. He would like his paintings to appear as if they were easy to execute, and just fell naturally onto the paper. With a lifelong participation in coast-wise sailing and ocean passage-making, he gravitates towards water, boats, and coastal scenes. John is, for the most part, self-taught, using the many how-to watercolor books available today. In addition he has taken workshops with Robert Wade, Chuck McLachlan, Tony Couch, Eric Wiegardt, Judi Wagner and David Taylor. He is a member of both the Tennessee and the Georgia Watercolor Societies.
