Jane Davenport Mixed Media Teacher & Artist

Jane Davenport is probably the most famous to me for her mixed media beautiful whimsical ladies.

Just as I discovered her book “Beautiful Faces,” she launched an entire line of mixed media art supplies exclusively for Michael’s including washi tape, art journals, acrylic and watercolor paint, magical mermaid markers and so much more. I am really enjoying working through this book. Just get a pencil and a journal and by the end of the book, you’ll be drawing faces and figures that at least resemble Jane’s beauties.

My Review on Amazon

So beautiful.. like a stroll through one of Jane Davenport’s art journals just for you.

OH MY GAWD! I really don’t understand how Jane Davenport keeps coming up with the most amazing art books. I’ve now looked through it a dozen times and I think I see something new each time. The biggest problem with it for me will be that I don’t want to ruin any of Jane’s amazing artwork by actually marking it myself so the only way to get past that will probably be to order a second copy.. oh well! Honestly, so much of her art is in this book, you’ll feel like Jane has sent you a copy of one of the journals you see her working in during the online workshops. If you haven’t signed up for one of those yet you need to ASAP so you can be a part of the Rainbowitis Davenpeep crew. Amazing job as always Jane. Keep them coming! I’m so glad I pre-ordered this early!

Fabulous Figures – I ♥ Heart Drawing

The second new book is a companion to her art course I Heart Drawing and teaches you how to draw Fabulous Figures using her uber unicorn mermaid-filled secret ways. I am actually just starting this online course and will be super excited to have a written reference as well.

My Fabulous Figures Review

“I get a little giddy just thinking about how amazing this book is! Not kidding! There is so so much information packed into this book focusing on figure drawing. That sounds pretty dry and boring, right? But not the way Jane Davenport presents it. She breaks things down so you don’t have to spend a fortune at a fancy art school in Paris because Jane already did that and now she’s sharing her vast amount of knowledge with you. She starts with basics but then gets right down into the details that most classes just never get to. How to draw feet & hands, how to draw a figure that’s twisting, and how to draw different body types. If you’ve never taken one of Janes’s online art courses I encourage you to join in with the class that will accompany this book. She’ll be presenting it “live” and after having done the live Supplies me class for the last month, I’m hooked. I’d also recommend her beautiful faces book. Join the Jane Davenport FB group to see what people are already creating! We love you, Jane!! ~ Chrissy “

She also started a class called Folkloric Fabulous Figures to accompany the book. I’m IN for this one. Click here to join in and explore the world of the Davenpeeps.

Jane Davenport’s recommendations for her online art classes

strathmore art journal recommended by Jane Davenport

Journals – Her favorite journals are the Strathmore Mixed Media or Watercolor Journals with the 500 series papers in them. I was gifted with the largest one for Christmas this year to use for Lifebook they have gorgeous paper for sure.

It comes in a softcover or hardcover but the same grade of paper.

Jane’s Journals are great too. I’ve found them on her site only the one below on Amazon. If you know other sources please let me know in the links below. They come with her beautiful art on the covers or blank canvas so you can decorate your own. You can use any coupons online too.

If you like working smaller or in a travel-friendly way, Jane’s Butterfly Journals are fantastic! You can add paper, memorabilia, and ephemera so you can express yourself while you travel or once you get back home. It includes the Canvas cover, 2 elastics, 4 paper inserts. You can purchase other items separately.

Jane Davenport Mixed Media 7 Piece Butterfly Book Mermaid – Order Amazon US, UK, Canada or Spain

I’ll detail my favorite Jane products for you below.

Jane’s Mermaid watercolor markers are SO incredibly juicy and after they run out of ink, the brushes can be reloaded with liquid watercolors or used as water brushes. They should be stored upright so they don’t leak. They probably aren’t your best options for your portable journaling.

The color names of all Jane’s products really add to the Rainbowitis Davenpeep mystique. (Don’t worry, just hang around Jane’s fans and you’ll pick up the special lingo. Colors include Seaweed, Siren, Byron Bay, Blue Bottle, Deep Sea, Jellyfish, Starfish, Coral, Beach, Pirate’s Gold, Lobster, and Reef. One word of warning with these, the colors on the caps do not necessarily match the color of the ink, so swatching these pens is uber important.

See my flip-through on Instagram here.

Magic Wand Colored Pencils are perfect for sketching faces and figures in Jane’s lessons. Even if you already have colored pencils in your art supplies, you are going to want these just for the gorgeous Jane tin. I’ve actually repurposed the tin to hold all my watercolors in one place. Available here at Spellbinders, Scrapbook.com or Amazon

Jane’s collection of washi tape is one of a kind and matches perfectly with all the colors of art supplies in her line.

This is one of my favorite drawing lessons from the Beautiful Faces book called “Blue Bird.”
