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!

In this class, I will show you how to paint this majestic Iberian Lynx in real-time without any brushstrokes, that's right without any brushstrokes… we will simply be placing paint onto wet paper and allowing the magic to happen. This is my free-flow technique and it's very best!

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

Simple trees

Butterflies

Balloon dog

Though if you are feeling game come and join me :-)

I’ll be showing you:

How an interesting technique allows us to control the paint and water while painting wet on wet
How gravity can create us some lovely movement and life
How to paint that lovely expressive eye using layers and colours
How to add those all-important finishing touches that add the wow factor!

Before you start, it's well worth checking out this BBC 8-minute video on the conservation effort to bring back the Iberian Lynx. I love watching things like this, it really helps me engage with my subject and puts a completely new perspective on things

You will be creating this wonderful Iberian Lynx 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 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”
