John Somerscales

John is at heart an observational painter who likes to work on location whenever possible in order to experience and react to his surroundings directly. Much of his work, in oil or watercolour, is started or completed on location with the aid of photographs and sketches. 

John divides his time between producing new work, painting to commission, teaching, demonstrating, and writing articles on technique, several of which have been published in The Artist magazine. He has staged many one-man shows and has contributed work to The Pure Watercolour Society at Windrush and The Sunday Times Watercolour exhibition in the Mall Galleries.
