Jeremy Joslin @Passmore Edwards Institute

Jeremy’s mother was an artist, illustrator and story teller with her expert pen and wash.  So Jeremy’s skills were learnt from an excellent technical artist who knew how to turn 2D into 3D and made him understand “why” things are done as they are as much as “how”.

His career actually began in radio and then in training others for radio – and slowly the training of people in communication skills from sales to public presentation took over. After a spell in an Intensive Care Unit he opened a sketch pad and then a notepad and started a fulfilling career as a communicator in art and words.

His chosen Media is… Watercolour – “but not as we know it!” Jeremy is a firm believer that watercolour is one of the most difficult forms to successfully master. For him, the only way to create sensitivity, detail, and something living is watercolour pencil.

“Put a small cartridge paper pad in your pocket, some primary colour watercolour pencils and stroll through your own little part of heaven snatching a moments intensity of nature, some small study detail and take it home and work it up to a masterpiece. I can be as sensitive as a gossamer thread or put a single strand of colour into an animal’s fur or fill my study with a colour darker than black. But when I’m ready I can get a little secretion from a pore and start working my picture with my fingers changing areas of texture completely! Get a trace of water on the nib of the pencil and change another area of your creation – its like being a kid in nursery all over again!”
