Über diesen Kurs
If you have always wanted to create beautiful, loose, quick-flowing wet-on-wet watercolours with the simplest of touches, then let me teach you how!
In this class, I will show you how to paint these adorable meerkats in real time without any brushstrokes. That's right, without any brushstrokes! We will simply place paint onto wet paper and allow the magic to happen!
Enjoy :-)
If you’re just starting your watercolour journey and feel a bit daunted, I have three beginner classes that introduce you to my basic techniques:
In this class I’ll be showing you:
- How to section small areas off, giving you manageable-sized chunks in which to work, and when and how to join them up
- How to apply soft wet-on-wet layers to give depth of colour, interest, and gentle form to your painting
- How to paint the all-important eyes that give these meerkats such character and life
- How to add those finishing touches that bring your sweet meerkats to life!
You will be creating these fabulous meerkats and be amazed and inspired to add these simple techniques to your future artwork with confidence!
Past reviews
"There is only one word to describe Jane Davies' classes - MAGICAL!”
“Another Fantastic class from Jane. Jane's gentle & patient approach provides students with lessons that feel like you are sitting 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.”

Let 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.
