Robert Johnson Jr. works primarily on paper and canvas using watercolor, acrylic and pen and ink (stipple) in the Neo-Expressionist manner. The viewer should be aware that the reproductions of his work on this page may lack the vibrancy of color, texture, detail and precision that results from stippling. Ideally, the work should be seen in person.
