WELCOME TO JOHN HAYWOOD WATERCOLOURS
I’m John Haywood, a watercolour artist inspired by light, atmosphere and a sense of place. Through landscapes, cityscapes and interiors, I aim to capture not just how a scene looks, but how it feels.
Here you can explore my original watercolour paintings in the galleries and read my blog, Brushes with Watercolour, where I share the stories behind the paintings and my ongoing watercolour journey.
I’m glad you’re here — I hope you find a painting that speaks to you.
Sharing my watercolour adventures
“Your use of natural light and human form in the work particularly catches the imagination. The watercolours seem to tell a story and, delightfully, it’s up to the viewer to decide what that story is. We love our Brighton Station watercolour, which fits into our home beautifully. We look forward to seeing more of your work in the not too distant future.”

“What struck me about the painting I chose from John was its combination of simplicity and detail. It is close to but not quite monochromatic. The colors are muted with just enough variety to keep the interest. The subject displays distance and perspective, light and shadow with enough of a suggestion of detail to fool the eye into thinking this painting was simpler to execute than it really was.
It was very easy to complete this purchase. John was very quick to reply to my inquiry, research shipping and arrange payment. His choice of UPS international made the parcel very easy to track and when it arrived safely it was extremely well packed with a very professional certificate of authenticity.
I would not hesitate to purchase another of John’s paintings.”
