Jan Norman - painting
.Watercolour has a variability about it that encourages experimentation. It is a difficult medium that can be very unforgiving, but it has a quality that I love. It has transparency and luminosity. Paint runs or spreads swiftly sometimes unpredictably which is largely responsible for those ethereal and mystical qualities, qualities that creative artists find so appealing.
I paint intuitively; the subject matter is mainly landscapes. My paintings are not true copies of nature – they are generally inspired by a view or place, but the colours change and the image evolves into what makes a good picture. I like to paint loosely and sometimes wet in wet, adding inks, wax, pencils and whatever makes appropriate marks to complete the image.
In 1997 I attained a certificate in fine art at the University of Brighton.
