John Lovett has been a professional artist for almost 50 years, he is well known to readers of International Artist Magazine for his fascinating articles and demonstrations. John conducts workshops in Australia, Europe, UK, Asia and The US. His enthusiasm and knowledge make his workshops a lot of fun and extremely popular. He works in oils, acrylics and watercolor, but his preferred medium is watercolor and mixed media. As John states: "For me, the unpredictability and uncontrollable nature of watercolor make it the most exciting and expressive medium of all. The opportunity to meander somewhere between mastery and complete lack of control during the course of a painting make it one of the most engaging mediums. This, plus the fact that it is quick, clean and portable, got me in forty years ago and my enthusiasm has been growing ever since." John's paintings express an emotional depth that makes his work distinctive. While most of his work depicts to some extent, places or objects, the real subject is always less tangible - an idea or sound, a time of day or a momentary incident. This unique interpretation of his subject has a vitality that is enhanced by his use of light, color and strong sense of design. John travels extensively throughout Australia and overseas and his love of the landscape, people and environment is reflected in his work. His travels have taken him to Italy, France, Antarctica, South America, England, Ireland, Asia and the USA. These places provide John with inspiration and ideas for his work. The different light and atmosphere, plus the strong undertones of history, culture and architecture, are always a catalyst for new and exciting images.
