John McLaren, a self-taught “practicing” artist, has been painting and drawing people and figures throughout his entire life. John’s passion for painting extends to the study of pigments, which he finds to have the most intriguing qualities when applied to paper with water. It is the application of these unique characteristics that John strives to incorporate in his work.
John has the heart of a teacher, and enjoys sharing with and learning from others. Although John avidly reads, studies, tests, and observes, he believes that there is no substitute for practice when it comes to learning anything.
John McLaren retired from MSU after teaching Telecommunications for 25 years, and is a member of MAG & PAPA, and the recipient of many awards for his paintings. He and his wife Cindy, are regulars at MAG’s Life Drawing Studio, and have a love of sailing. His work can be found at teaksouls.com.
