Have you always wanted to create beautiful, loose, quick-flowing wet-on-wet watercolour with the simplest of touches, then let me show you how! 
This is the second in my three class beginner series. <a href="https://skl.sh/2SQiNAd" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Simple Trees</a> was the first and introduced the simple joys of watercolour using my wet-on-wet free-flow techniques, if you haven't already done that class you may want to start there!
Once you have completed Butterflies, <a href="https://skl.sh/3dxbPZh" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Panda </a>is your final class in this series
In this class I’ll be showing you:
<ul>
<li>How to add a second simple layer to add depth and interest to one of the butterflies</li>
<li>How to judge when and how to add paint onto your wet paper to achieve the perfect outcome</li>
<li>How to take away colour to bring life and light into your work</li>
<li>How to add those all-important finishing touches to finish off your beautiful painting</li>
</ul>

You will be creating these wonderful Butterflies and be more confident and knowledgeable in using this magical medium!
Past reviews
"There is only one word to describe Jane Davies' classes - MAGICAL!”
“Another Fantastic class from Jane. Jane's gentle &amp; patient approach provides students with lessons that feel like you are sat opposite her with a cuppa. She provides wonderful feedback and encouragement. Without question, she is my favourite teacher on Skillshare.”
"Highly recommend this class. Jane has a different way of painting in watercolour, straight from the tube. For me, this resulted in the best watercolour 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"
“Jane is an excellent teacher, and her clear instructions mean anyone, even complete beginners, can have a go and produce a piece of work that they will be very pleased with. Highly recommended.”
“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”
