John M Pooler, born Nottingham 1969, is a professional water colour
artist. John is self-taught and has had no formal art training. His work
avoids the hand of academia, so evident in lots of `graphic` contemporary
art.

John has had a longstanding interest in art but only began painting
seriously just over a year ago after a visit to Rome. His success has come
quickly and has surprised him. His work has been likened to Edward Seago
(1910 to 1974). Indeed, Seago's ex-agent Geradl took John under his wing
when he first saw his work, an accolade indeed.

He has exhibited at the Royal Watercolour Society. C21 exhibition, Bankside.
2007.

Won the First Prize Nottingham Society of Artists 2006.

John Exhibits in a selected number of galleries throught the UK.

The paintings are executed on two types of paper: 'Two Rivers' tinted paper,
a hand made paper from Watchet in Somerset, and 'Arches' paper, Lorraine,
France.

Most of the paints he uses are made from high grade pigments, available from
specialist art supplies companies, mixing his own paints enables him to
`tweak` the characteristics of the paint.

John stretches his watercolour paper on a sheet of glass, unlike the wood
boards that most water colourists use. The slower drying time due to the
non-absorbent glass enhances the finished painting as areas slowly merge and
meld together
