Drizzle, Drip, Splash and Play with Watercolour and Ink
Tutor: Jackie Devereux Course Code: 1925-02
Summary
A weekend beyond the norm! As we take ideas from our surroundings, experiment with the power and delicious quality of pure watercolour on a variety of surfaces, watching how it develops and learning from the experience.
Description
An extraordinary experience working in unison with Jackie Devereux, an artist renowned for her contemporary works on paper - original and experimental in nature, yet carefully crafted. We shall develop ideas through research - trial and error are key. Introducing powerful black Indian Ink (or not!) is always a surprise bonus on Jackie's courses. Jackie is always working and experimenting as she creates work for her exhibitions, and each of her courses has surprise elements.

Tutor
Jackie Devereux
Jackie is a full time professional artist as well as qualified and very experienced adult tutor, whose unique work is greatly influenced by Japanese art as well as the light of southern France which was her home for over twenty years. Jackie’s award winning work ranges from pure large contemporary works on paper, to delicate pencil, to expressive pen & ink and mixed media - all experimental in nature. She has travelled the world, always with the intention of capturing people and places as she goes. As drawing is an integral part of her work, Jackie enjoys working with groups and sharing her ideas and techniques, encouraging others to develop their own potential. Jackie’s work is well published and collected internationally. She has been a regular contributor to The Artist Magazine, has exhibited widely throughout the UK and France, as well as in the USA and Japan. She has shown with the RWS, RI and with the Society of Graphic Fine Art, variously in Menier Gallery, Southwark; in Mayfair, Bankside and The Mall Galleries in London, and was elected and served as President of the SGFA for five years.
