I'm in the process of re-writing additions and changes
to the existing London Art College correspondence course for watercolour painting where I'm currently writer and tutor. I've been tutor and writer for this course and the Children's Illustration course (now tutored by someone else) at the college, for 13 years in total. The refreshed course will be entitled something like "Learn to Paint Watercolours, Basics and Beyond with Jan Nesbitt " and will be available in a month or so. Details will be posted on this website when it's up and running |

Decision
to return to painting full time. My intention was always to
combine this with illustration work, but time and deadlines
have hardly allowed any space in which to do this. Ideas were
piling up in the form of sketches, bits of writing etc. so I
have taken the plunge. Work on sale in Rooksmoor Gallery, Bath,
and also exhibited at Wyeside Arts Centre, Builth Wells, Powys,
Wales |
