Let me show you how to paint this fabulous barn owl in a simple loose, flowing wet on wet technique
This barn owl will help build up your knowledge and confidence on how to use my loose, simple free flowing techniques on wet watercolour paper
If you’re just starting your watercolour journey and haven’t done my beginner classes, I’d suggest taking a look at those first
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 tilt the paper and allow the paint to run
- How to section areas off and soften
- How to be bold with a few brush strokes to achieve the wing feathers
- How to paint three layers/washes using the same colours to build up depth and mood
- How to paint eyes using two layers
- How to use masking fluid to give a wonderful sense of light and sparkle
- How to splatter without covering the whole painting!
You will be painting the fabulous moody barn owl and be amazed and inspired to add these simple techniques into your future artwork with confidence

"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 you’re 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."
