Have you always wanted to create beautiful, quick flowing art in watercolour with the simplest of touches, then let me show you how!

In this class I will show you how to create this enchanting seahorse without any brushstrokes, but merely placing paint onto wet paper, along with some interesting watercolour techniques to add light, interest and texture to the background

As with all my other classes we paint wet on wet, it’s such a liberating technique, and will certainly put a big smile on your face

If you’re just starting your watercolour journey and haven’t done my beginner classes, I’d suggest taking a look at those first, they will break you in gently to my style :)

If you’re feeling confident and are already familiar with some of my techniques then this will be a great class for you!

I will show you:

How to create that beautifully textured, light-filled background
How to create that delicate seahorse without preliminary sketches
How to achieve a wonderful sense of light and dark on the seahorse with a very easy trick!
How to pull the painting together with the smallest of tweaks at the end

You will be painting this seahorse and be amazed and inspired to add these simple techniques into your future artwork with confidence

Past reviews

"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 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”

"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”
