Welcome to my website.
As you can see from the title I have decided to use my former name of Munro on my paintings.
Watercolour is my first and most loved medium because of its fluid, transparent qualities. Mastering the watery medium takes practice , diligence and planning unlike other media that can be changed, worked over, deleted if not quite right.
Landscape is what I prefer to paint, especially local scenes that I visit most days when walking my dog. Sketches and camera aid my memory so that I can portray in paint what I have seen and felt.
I also paint in opaque media, pastel, Acrylic, because they offer a less taxing approach where I am concerned with the process and not the product.
Teaching Art, as well as painting, is a passion. Enabling others to get into that wonderful world of creativity and ' flow ' is so rewarding. Escaping into a place where nothing matters more than that still life, body, landscape, that we are drawing or painting, is a good place to go.
Cheers
Jan
