Applying Painting Techniques

Jo Lynch

Loved art her entire life, but did not begin painting consistently until the 90’s. She has taken painting classes and workshops all over the world and won several awards. Her favorite medium to work with is watercolor. She donates a portion of her earnings to help various animal shelters and charities.

Notice how she breaks images down into their basic shapes.
