Works on paper

 

John has produced an extensive body of works on paper over a period of time spanning more than 50 years of artistic output.

As with oil paintings, one of the unique factors of John’s approach has been the rejection of mass-produced materials in favour of mixing his own saphonised oils, painting milks and caseins, as well as egg tempera, which he uses for works on paper in combination with his self-made guache paints.
