Note: John Yardley began painting full-time over 30 years ago he has achieved International recognition for his distinctive watercolours through one-man and group exhibitions, books, videos and his very popular painting courses, which are constantly over-subscribed. Throughout those years he has maintained a remarkable level of consistency, painting to the highest possible standard at all times with the freshness and spontaneity that are amongst his hallmarks. In 1990 he was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters and Watercolour and has exhibited widely throughout the world. He has had numerous one-man exhibitions, won several prizes and is the author of a very successful book (John Yardley, A Personal View - Watercolour). Three further books have been published focusing on Yardley and his work (The Art of John Yardley, by Ron Ranson; John Yardley As I See It, by Steve Hall and John Yardley, by Susanne Haines). His paintings are in corporate and private collections throughout the world. The typical gallery price for a Yardley watercolour of these dimensions would be in excess of £2500.
