Tutor: Jackie Devereux Course Code: 1525-04

Summary

Spend an exciting day creating contemporary watercolour greeting cards. Following the success of these one-day workshops aimed at those with lots, any or no previous experience, this enjoyable and totally creative day can only yield success and a sense of achievement. Come along and play ...........

Description

We shall experiment with brushstrokes, mark-making and colour, as we create artwork ultimately intended to be torn or cut into dynamic shapes, based on your chosen size of cards and envelopes.  (We shall also prepare a layout for taking to print in small quantities.)  Alternatively, if you have any watercolour paintings which have failed to rech a frame, then bring them along, rather than putting in the bin!

Please bring with you

Cutting mat, craft knife, scissors, ruler, Pritstik and an old magazine or telephone directory.
Blank cards with matching envelopes, or alternatively Jackie will have a selection of additional materials, including optional gold and silver leaf, envelopes and card for purchase on the day.

The following items can be purchased from your tutor

Jackie will have watercolour paper available to buy, as well as envelopes and card.

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. Her work is shown in Mandells Gallery, Norwich; The Gallery at Waterperry House, Oxford, and often in Babylon Gallery, Ely and Gallery Holt, Holt, Norfolk.
