Three Feathers. An Easy All-Level Watercolour Class with Jane Davies

Let me show you how to paint these beautiful feathers in a simple and very quick watercolour technique, its something a bit different from me!

These lovely feathers are very easy to paint and are finished in a couple of minutes, so we will be painting some practice feathers before we paint our main piece with the lovely background wash

This class is suitable for all levels and requires very little watercolour knowledge, just a love for colour and simplicity 

I will show you:

• How to pull colour out with a damp brush 
• How to work quickly and effectively without over fussing
• How to create a lovely soft background wash
• How to use masking fluid 

You will be painting these beautiful feathers and be amazed and inspired that these can be done so quickly 

Past reviews

"That’s the shortest and best class on Skillshare"

“Jane has immediately become my favourite SkillShare teacher! Her unique style and explanations of how and why are fantastic! Thank you, Jane! ”

"A very enjoyable way to begin to learn the fun and skill of watercolour"

“Thank you sooooo much! I've been waiting for your class to start. I'm thrilled. Love your 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.”

“Hello Jane, I viewed your lessons fully and will rewatch and paint. I see where wet in wet can be an enhanced feature for illustration. Listening with my headphones and the chirping bird in the background was a lovely feature :). I have a Samsung tablet and the resolution and sound is really beautiful for your lessons.”

"This class exceeded my expectations! Wow, congratulations Jane!! Just watching this through... I just LOVE trees, they are my enduring love, so I may take some time out from surface pattern designing to just relax and watch the paint flow where it wants! Love DS watercolours too, so I'll have a rummage about, see if I have some granulating ones too. Thank You! Lovely bright, cheery class :O)

"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."
