John Paige SWLA

Methodology

John Paige is passionate about the necessity of looking and working from life in the first place but much of his work is now finished in the studio. John uses several different media: drawing, watercolour, oil, acrylic, collage, washout and printmaking. The medium he chooses for each piece depends upon my feeling for the subject. John is interested in trying to show his emotional response to the subject - 'why it is that I want to make that particular picture of that particular moment'. It is important to him to try and convey the movement; most of the things he likes to depict are moving constantly.
