Jake Winkle creates two paintings in Alton Art Society demonstration

Two paintings were created in under two hours by Jake Winkle as he gave the February demonstration to Alton Art Society at the Assembly Rooms.

The first was a cow in watercolour. Jake explained his choice of the colours he always uses, including the primaries of red, yellow and blue plus secondaries of a brown and green.

His style is loose and flowing with spattering. He never uses black but mixes a near black with blue and brown and uses white gouache for any highlights. Diagonal brush strokes were added to give energy.

After the break he painted a hare with lost edges to give interest. Jake gave 60 members a wonderful demonstration which was interesting, clear and informative.  

The next demonstration is at the Assembly Rooms on March 16 at 2.30pm. Wendy Jelbert will show how to paint a floral garden in watercolour. Admission free for members, £5 for non-members.
