#94 JOHN BUTTON
Fresh, accessible, and friendly are feelings that come to mind when viewing the paintings by John Button. It’s no surprise that these words describe his character as well. There’s an ease, humility, and authenticity in how John describes his work and the life he’s built around it. A transplant from a coastal English town to Stockholm, Sweden, his work reflects his love of the scenery, past and present. It’s within him and has shaped who he is and the art he creates. He creates for himself first, and painting is his calling.

Loved the interview, thank you Ann.
I’d love to know what pencil marker he uses in the process video towards the end? Anyone know?
thanks
Hi Jo, I reached out to John but have not heard back. I took a look at the video again and to me it looks like one of those solid graphite pencils (not graphite surrounded by wood). I use them myself. They have a plastic-like coating on the outside. I saw this one on Amazon: Faber-Castell Pitt Graphite 9B Pure Pencil. Give it a go!
