JOHN WOODARD ART
expressionist painter from the Pacific Northwest
Oil painting allows me to mix paints and control the chroma and value with more complexity and creativity than acrylic paint. Throughout my career, I have experimented with neutralizing colors, matching values and intensity to create an illusion of bright colors without sacrificing depth. I paint directly from still-lifes set up in the studio. I do not make a sketch before I paint. Direct painting is the best because it allows the work to be fresh and alive. Each oil takes between six to twelve weeks to complete.
