About the Book

Watercolour paintng is one of the most popular - and most challenging - of art forms. About Watercolours by leading artist Mike Jeffries aims to bring this technique to life with passion and excitement, and an original approach that offers something 'different' to the existing watercolour instruction books that exist. Bringing to bear the author's extensive experience and skill - particularly working with artists such as John Yardley, Alvaro Castagnet, David Howell, and Herman Pekel amongst others - the book is not intended as another tome on technique, but an accessible encouragement to engage with the author's work and personal views on watercolour painting. The basic premise is that it is very difficult to "teach" someone to paint and many existing titles, with their emphasis on demonstrations and techniques, can be very intimidating for the amateur painter coming to watercolours for the first time. About Watercolours offers a visual pathway through the author's own journey into watercolour painting, showcasing a broad range of the author's work and avoiding banal technique to focus instead on 'learning by doing' and giving valuable real advice to the budding amateur. This is not just an essential entry point to watercolours for the amateur artist, but showcases Mike's unique talent as a leading watercolourist and instructor.
About the Author: Mike Jeffries is a Geordie originally from the North East of England. He spent many years of his youth in Trinidad before returning to UK and training as an architect. Mike became interested in painting 30 years ago and joined a local art group. He focused on developing his technique as a watercolourist. A major influence on his style of painting is the work of John Yardley: one of the UK's top contemporary watercolour artists. Mike specialises in painting in an impressionist style while cleverly capturing sunlight and the motion of people in his work. Although Mike has based his style on Yardley's techniques, because of his architectural training he is able to combine the impressionist feel with accurate depictions of buildings and landscapes which make a lot of his paintings instantly recognisable. He currently has paintings available for sale at galleries in Corfe, Dorset and in Wincester, Hampshire.
