30 Janette George at Art @ St Nicholas House
Artform: Painting
With a degree in Chemistry, becoming an artist was not the obvious choice, but it was on this chemistry career pathway that I worked with dyes and colour matching, gaining a fantastic insight into the magic of colour mixing – how the smallest amount can significantly change a colour. This is fundamental to how I work today.
I am drawn to expressing places I have visited and things I have seen where the light and colour interact to provide beauty – wide expansive skies, seas and landscapes; the hues of nature; reflections in water; textures and layers. I love how colour can be built up and blended from its constituents using a palette knife and large soft brushes. I often start a piece working in acrylics and a lot of water to give a soft primary layer. I then work over this, mainly with oils, which enable me to create depth and levels of colour, with constant blending and mixing of the paint to produce the hue and texture needed.
I am also director of Warwickshire Open Studios.
