description
John Yardley is recognised as one of Britain's finest watercolourists. Born in Beverley, Yorkshire he commenced painting full-time in 1986. Having had no formal training, Yardley maintains that this has given him the freedom to find his own style. Yardley’s increasing prominence in the world of watercolours is the result of his natural ability and flair. He is renowned for his outstanding ability to capture the vitality of a scene with a few well-placed brush strokes and the way he conveys movement with a confident sweep of paint. His characteristic style is to paint what he sees with little embellishment and by drawing his subject and then painting it in one quick and direct application, he retains the sense of movement that is true to the scene and medium. John Yardley is a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour where he has exhibited for over 30 years. He also exhibits at the Royal Watercolour Society where he has won several awards.

Saluté Backdrop, watercolour, 36 x 51 cm
John Yardley is regarded as one of Britain’s finest 20th century watercolourists. He frequently chooses his subject matter for the interesting effects of light and atmosphere and his travels through England and Europe produce a wide range of watercolours that show a rare ability to convey all the atmosphere of a scene with just a few well placed brush-strokes.
John Yardley was born in Yorkshire in 1933 and began painting in the 1950s. He is a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours where he has exhibited for over thirty years winning several awards. He is the subject of three books The Art of John Yardley, John Yardley - A Personal View and John Yardley - As I see it.
