Everyone can draw!
Scribble a couple of lines on a page and there you go – you can draw!
Yet we judge ourselves so harshly when our drawing doesn’t measure up to what we imagine it should and feel trapped in creative self-gravity. Maybe you were told by a family member or teacher that you were no good at drawing. It’s heartbreaking to hear how many of my students experienced this.
Art seems to be one of the only areas where we expect to be an expert overnight. If you were going for a run for the first time, you don’t expect someone to pull over and say “you’re such a natural runner, we’d like you to join the Olympic team.” You’d have to work hard to achieve greatness. It exactly the same with artwork. It does have the word “work” in it for a reason. Nothing flourishes straight away without practice. What I want for you is joyful practice! That’s where you actually enjoy learning by making masterful marks and just as many mistakes. You’ll realise that it’s not even about the end artwork, it’s about how the creative journey makes you feel!

It lights up the whole brain because it engages imagination and problem-solving skills. It awakens memories and laser focuses hand-brain co-ordination. Don’t be surprised if it reawakens your whole life and makes you smarter!

About the Mini Workshop
Thousands of delightful peeps have enjoyed believing they can draw again after taking the workshop!
Take Lillian for example, who believed she had absolutely no artist talent whatsoever for 20 years after disparaging comments from a teacher and then she discovered Draw Happy! We hear stories like hers regularly in the Draw Happy Facebook Group and LOVE to hear the AMAZING progress students make not only with their drawing skills but even more importantly, with their mindset.
Who is it for?
It was created specifically for adult women who would love to start drawing, and with confidence.
Who is it not suited for?
If you already enjoy drawing, this class is not intended for you. Start with ’Supplies Me’ instead.

How the Workshop is Delivered
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 dont ‘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!

full of creative-minded spirits where you can feel free to be your arty self.
I found Jane Davenport a couple of years ago when I had surgery. I had two months of recovery time. And because I couldn’t do much heavy lifting I’d decided to do art as part of my healing. I did anything from coloring in coloring books to doodling, and even experimented with some watercolor painting. Art has always been a part of my life but I feel like I’ve never allowed myself to just play. I love Jane’s work and how whimsical and free-spirited it is. It’s very playful and inspiring! I feel like I can learn a lot from her and you.

For 20 years I believed that I had absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever.
In school we had an arts and crafts teacher who told me exactly this, and always put the lowest grades on my projects, even when I was quite pleased with them myself. This completely destroyed my confidence.
After my son was born I discovered scrapbooking, then card making, and how much fun it is to put lovely colours onto paper. Recently I came across Jane Davenport’s brilliant classes, with recipes for how to draw faces and people, and what do you know; I can draw! I’m enjoying this class so much, thank you, Jane!
Lillian, Norway
I work in a restricted space, which was my excuse to not produce anything creative. Well that was a pile of poo, it was my attitude holding me back. I am diving in and having a ball, my energy is increasing and I feel more at peace with the world. I have always been creative but I have let being a perfectionist hold me back, reinforced by my teachers and my artist dad. Jane Davenport’s words have spoken to me and I finally believe I can draw and create, after all, I will be sharing in a safe space.
Thank you so much Jane Davenport for setting me free (I will try my best not to put myself down either on here or in my head, really goes against the grain though)!
