I love art

Watercolors and story by Lizzie Jayne

My name is Lizzie Jayne and I am a taught emerging watercolour artist. I enjoyed art at school (over 40 years ago now) but I haven't painted since. Last April I received a box of watercolours for birthday. I started with a simple cat outline drawing and wash colour. I haven't stopped since. Within 8 months I've gone from strength to strength and have even started to win awards for my art on various online gallery's.

I love art. I'm so happy to have discovered this treasure within, something I didn't realise I had. I share my art on my Facebook/instagram/pinterest page @artbylizziejayne and many are enjoying journeying with me. It brings a splash of colour to mine and others lives.

I haven't had any training, but I'm I create from the heart. I love wildlife, nature, cats, (especially cats) landscapes and Christian faith art.

Art has become everything me and I even wrote my second children's Christmas book and illustrated the paintings.

I use only watercolour for all my art and I have learned to master and manipulate the paint to get it to create what I need.

My biggest challenge is water. I want to create realistic water next. I am determined to achieve this. I am coming into a place of painting wildlife well. I have much to learn.

I love Watercolor Academy as it helps to inspire what art is out there and I love watching the demos. I would love to win academy course because I have so I would like to learn and build on what I have.

I hope people vote for me as I have started from nothing and worked and practised very hard to improve everyday. I am proud of how far I have come.
