In this, his first book, the popular artist & writer Jake Winkle introduces his innovative & adventurous ways with colour & light. Working in a loose style characterised by the use of washes, wet-in-wet & free brushwork, Jake captures his subjects by using dynamic colour combinations that reflect their vitality & movement. Shapes are never rigidly defined but have a fluid quality, & shadows are a mix of blues, browns, greens & violets that dance on the paper as they dance in life; just look at the boxing hares on the front cover. Jake's subjects range from landscapes & buildings to wildlife, people & still lifes & it is fascinating to see how he adapts his style to each, rather than forcing them to conform to his own way of working.
