Jake Winkle – Known for his dramatic wildlife and horse racing watercolours, Jake’s work is bold and translucent. His enthusiasm for watercolour painting is infectious and inspired as he constantly searches for new and exciting ways to render his subject, direct and uncluttered – with passion and energy! 

Jake suggests: Students should come with all their usual watercolour equipment including two sheets of good quality watercolour paper, minimum size 15” x 11” either stretched or taped to a board and a spare sheet for practice (I use Arches 140LB Rough).  Tubes of colour are preferred to pans but are not essential.  Students should also have 2B and 2H pencils and white body colour such as white gouache.  I will bring all photo references and tracing options.
