Paint Faint

Step into the golden glow of the Renaissance—reimagined.
Botticelliesque is a dreamy mixed media workshop inspired by the timeless beauty of Sandro Botticelli and the soft, strong muses that drift through his paintings. With luminous colour, graceful lines, and expressive faces, this workshop will guide you in creating portraits that feel both classical and modern—anchored in myth, but fully your own.

Through painterly tutorials, proportion practice, colour magic, and creative confidence-building, you’ll learn to paint like a modern muse—because you’re not just copying Venus… you’re becoming her.

Starts August 4th, 2025

Let's Greek out over a fascinating array of gods, monsters & deities!

Who is it for?

If you are already comfortable drawing and are ready to really beef up your creative muscles with all sorts of techniques and art supplies, then you will adore these carefully prepared, juicy lessons! 

Who is it not suited for?

If you’re just getting started with your art, the Draw Happy workshop will help you with your creative confidence or the Supplies Me workshop may be better if you are new to learning about art supplies.

How the Workshop is Delivered

  • Lifetime Access
  • Pause, rewind and review each lesson as often as you like.
  • Private Community to meet with other artists!
  • Log into a private area of the JD website to access your workshop!
  • I have created this class so you can take all the time you need and let the magic happen!

    All sessions for the Self-guided study classes are up when you arrive. This means there’s no waiting for projects to be posted and you can take the course at whatever pace works for you.

    You can revisit, rewatch, recharge and remind yourself of all the art supplies, all the drawing lessons, all the mixed media inspiration whenever you want.

    You need never feel embarrassed about not ‘clicking’ with a new skill straightaway. It’s a terrible feeling when you feel left behind, or that you don’t ‘get it’ and everyone else does in a learning situation! But you will NEVER feel that way in my classroom because you can pause and rewind, and ask questions.

    Full instructions are on the site if this is your first online class experience. You are in safe hands!

    What you’ll need for the workshop

    Let me just emphasise that you don’t need all the art supplies in the universe to complete your Homework. You can use whatever art tools you have. You will learn new ways of using what you do have, and be able to pinpoint what you may like to add to your creative life in the future without expensive trial and error.

    • A high-speed internet service to watch the videos ( if you can watch a YouTube video, you will be fine)
    • You will need to be over 15 to access the Jane Davenport Art School
    • Bring a healthy ARTitude!

    ART SUPPLIES
    This is a mixed media workshop, which means we will be using a wide range of art supplies! Each lesson may have a focus on a particular art supply, however, you can make substitutions and experiment with the supplies you have. Naturally, Jane will be demonstrating with ‘Jane Davenport’ art supplies throughout and this is a wonderful opportunity to explore the full power of our unique media.

    If you would like to gather some supplies before the course commences, you can look to the bundles below as a start.
