Painting Method

The painting methods have evolved during the ages and have been crafted by lebanese artists, for lebanese artists. The variation of watercolor methods shows the artist's preferences in art, design, and colors in which he conveys his feelings, mood, and convictions. We can see the lebanese artist in every painting, every expression of the self, and the feelings that made him do his creation.

The Lebanese Artist

No matter what happens on life, watercolor art will always dominate as the main tool to emanate creativity for the lebanese artist. Lebanon art has been influenced by several movement conveyed by the transition of the Lebanese artist from one movement to another. Similar to Jean Ayoub, any lebanese artist would be inspired by the hope that one day lebanese art would re-ignite a renaissance movement that would spur interest in lebanon watercolor and lebanese art just like in the pre-civil-war era. Back then, the lebanese artist had a noble profession...more like a profitable hobby. The lebanese artist lived for what he worked, yet now he worked to barely make ends meet. lebanon watercolor was once a movement that inspired artists across nations, spurring interest in the lebanese artists that perfected this style through various techniques and styles, in which their exhibitions were displayed all the way to Europe, the United States, and Australia. Lebanese watercolor still remains a dim light that hopes to see a brighter light at the end of the tunnel as Lebanese artists worldwide are making their best efforts to re-unite and serve their community to prepare their children, their rightful heirs, to the culture of their nation.

Welcome To Jean Ayoub

Welcome to Jean Ayoub's Blog, a lighthouse of inspiration stemming from years of talent, experience, and dedication. In this blog, you will find the works of a lebanese artist that sheds light on watercolor lebanon. The Lebanese artist has always been in the shadows of politics and sectarian violence that have always smeared the country and delapidated its culture. With Jean Ayoub, the lebanese artist who persisted on maintaining lebanon art as a pillar of the culture through his art, lebanon watercolor has become a movement by itself and stirred a buzz among enthusiasts and art appreciators. With lebanese artists still sprouting across the nation, there is hope for lebanon watercolor to maintain its cultural dominance and prove that lebanese art is a cornerstone of the middle east.
Furthermore, the lebanese artist has a rich cultural background enriched by a preserved heritage and a history of nations that conquered the land.
As a lebanese artist, it is essential to keep in mind these historical factors and be influenced by them because they make a special style that is so rare and special and enjoyed by all.
