"There is only one word to describe Jane Davies' classes - MAGICAL!”
“My favourite tutorial to date on skillshare. Jane Davies is amazing--thank you for for teaching me how to create something I love”
"Highly recommend this class. Jane has a different way of painting in watercolor, straight from the tube. For me, this resulted in the best watercolor painting I have ever done. She gives clear instructions, step by step, and works at a pace that is not overwhelming. I cannot wait to try another one of her classes"
“Thank you sooooo much! I've been waiting for your class to start. I'm thrilled. Love you’re easy to follow style. As a beginner, it means a lot to me to be able to follow the lesson well. Looking forward to the next one”
“This is a great video class by the very generous teacher Jane Davies. I really enjoyed attempting this with Jane's unusual but effective technique. Thank you Jane”
"Wonderful class. Jane is an excellent teacher, guiding you through each stage with clear instructions and demonstrations. I love her friendly, informal style”
"I already adore Jane's work and this class couldn't be different. She has magical hands to bring beautiful images to life in watercolour, and this beginner's exercise is a great way to get rid of our fear to work with this medium. I had so much joy, it was relaxing and I got confident of using paint on wet without that feeling that "I'm gonna ruin everything”

Instructor's CoursesLet me tell you a bit about myself...
I’m an international selling artist specializing in painting pet portraits and wildlife. I live, paint, teach,
and walk my lovely Spaniels in the beautiful South Downs National Park, England.
Over the last twenty years, I’ve taught myself the watercolour techniques you see today. Not having been to art school, finding my own way has been fun and sometimes daunting but has allowed me to develop my own unique style.
This year I’ve been lucky enough to be selected as a finalist for the prestigious David Shepard Wildlife Artist of the Year, with the above painting of a pair of African-painted dogs.
In 2014 I began teaching my free-flow methods to small groups of beginner artists. After a recent move, I was fortunate enough to have the use of a beautiful light-filled studio to teach from. This wonderfully converted dairy and my popular relaxed style of teaching has proved a very exciting new chapter in my life.
The pleasure of helping people unlock their painting potential, and seeing their faces light up when they discover they can paint has been a magical experience for me.
My style is quite unique as I don’t paint using brush strokes, it’s all done by placing watercolour paint onto wet paper. This is very liberating and extremely fun, allowing the paint and paper to create magic!
So whether you're a seasoned artist or just discovering watercolour for the first time. I know you'll have many aha moments when we get painting together, and a lot of fun!
So come and join me... and don't forget to subscribe, so you'll be notified when my next class is available! My aim is to release one every 4 to 8 weeks throughout 2023.
