Jane ‘Danger’ Davenport on Daniel Smith watercolours:

"My favourite Daniel Smith watercolors are an invitation to play.

They granulate.

They make amazing watermarks.

Each brushstroke is a beautiful, fascinating adventure.

By using art materials that allow me to enjoy the process so much, ideas can roam free, inspiration and imagination bubble to the surface and I create art that I love with ease. I don't have to worry about being an 'expert', or creating a perfect drawing first. I just dive right in with a smile on my face.”

The hues I have selected for my dot palette have all the seductive and unpredictable charm of a mermaid:

Buff Titanium
Iridescent Topaz
Hematite Violet
Potters Pink
Naphthamide Maroon
Rhodenite Genuine
Shadow Violet
Moonglow
Amethyst Genuine
Kyanite Genuine
Sodalite Genuine
Lunar Blue
Sleeping Beauty Turquoise
Phthalo Turquoise
Amazonite Genuine
Serpentine Genuine
Fuschite Genuine
Cascade Green

Of course there are other foundation colours that I use, but I wanted this dot card to hold some of the extraordinary Daniel Smith paints that people may not have had the pleasure of using before.

I consider these colours ‘alive’ because they do so much movement on their own, which makes them so exciting to use.

In all my online workshops, I cover techniques that a beginner can feel confident to try, through to more advanced concepts to push creative boundaries. I love teaching! I have attached images from recent journals as I prepare for my next 3 exciting online workshops for 2015. The first expands on my new book “Drawing & Painting Beautiful Faces” and the next concentrates solely on Watercolor. I have also been filming for my urban sketching series filmed in in Bali, Paris, London, Sydney, Mexico City and my home in Byron Bay.
