Jan runs on-going art courses throughout the year based at her studios at Leath Barn, West Somerton. The classes specialise in the painting of flowers, gardens, plants, fruit and landscapes, and demonstrations are given of all the different techniques of watercolour art, designed to suit both beginners and improvers.

Due to Coronavirus Jan has had to suspend her two and three day courses, but has restarted the day courses, and you are welcome to join her YouTube sessions - 4 weekly sessions, each month for £35. Contact Jan for details.

The one-day courses held at Leath Barn run from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm for £20 per session (see below for list of dates).

For those who wish to refresh their skills, or for complete beginners, these classes will show all the basic techniques for painting beautiful flowers and gardens in watercolour or pen, ink and wash.

Demonstrations and individual tuition will inspire you to develop your own style and enable everyone to go home with paintings to be proud of.

Materials can be purchased from Jan or from any good art shop. 

Jan can also mount pictures ready for framing if required.

Other subjects to be covered will include painting white flowers; corners of gardens; landscapes; painting from photos; vignettes.

We will also work on the value of space, balance, composition, colour mixing, using complementary and harmonious colours, light and dark (capturing light).

We may not be able to follow the above techniques closely throughout the summer as we will be painting outside at various venues, weather permitting.

PLEASE BRING A SUBJECT TO PAINT EACH WEEK UNLESS I ASK YOU NOT TO

£20 per day – please bring a packed lunch.

Watercolour and Mixed Media 'Paint-Ins' for Improvers

As my other classes are structured, there is no time for students to paint exactly what they wish and to use techniques and media of their choice. These ‘paint-in’ days are for improvers who wish to paint something specific.

I will be giving tuition, individual attention and demonstrations where possible. Please bring your subjects. I also have photos from which to paint.  Also it will be possible to paint outside weather permitting.

Beverages will be provided. Please bring packed lunch.

Held on the first Friday of each month 10.00-3.00

Cost: £20/day
