Modern and contemporary figurative paintings show John’s Scottish models, and some from China, draped and some nude as they pose in the studio, garden, on the beach and in bedroom. John captures a sensual mood with his models using lights in a darkened artist studio so the models pose is more a sensual pose rather than an erotic model pose. The directional lights also create brilliant reflected lights on the model. Scottish models are also captured in the Romantic Paintings page and are present in his Lady in Red series exploring life around Dundee, the City of Discovery.
John uses acrylic, watercolour, pastel and oil paints for his painting mediums, and is also happy to accept private commissions for pets, people, holidays, figurative paintings and any other topic.
Please contact John if you wish to see paintings in his studio.
“Warm Slumbers” watercolour, 16 × 8 inches
Warm Slumbers is a watercolour painting with a scantily clad model posing on a bed. This sensual and almost erotic figure study is illuminated from one side to allow strong light on the figure to contrast with the dark background. This directional light also gives lovely areas of reflected light on the models body.
