Jeanne Warren

I have loved art for as long as I can remember. As a child I could sit and draw for hours and was fascinated by anyone who could master painting anything in a realistic manner. I decided, even then, that this was my mission; to paint as realistically as possible. I wanted to learn that skill and practiced all my life to get there. I have studied art in college but to be honest I have to say what I know has been mainly self taught. It started with crayons as a child, to pencils and colored pencils, to oil paints and then watercolors and acrylics. I have developed my own style, however, by combining acrylic and watercolor paints to achieve brightness and clarity in my work. This technique is relatively new to me (I began painting this way in the summer of 2009), yet is one I enjoy tremendously. I am presently a member of my local art club and am beginning to work on a portfolio to submit to publishers. My goal is to create giclee prints of my originals and sell them.
