Today kicks off a nine day series leading up to Radiant Faces’ Opening Day on October 1st! Every day of our Nine Days will include a chance to win one of three free seats in the class, so keep coming back!
Today I want to introduce you to Jane Davenport, our first stop on the Road To Radiance!
What I love about Jane’s work is that she is adept at creating faces with a great deal of emotional range. Some of her faces are whimsical, some thoughtful, some wistful, some mischievous, but they all emote through the features she gives them. It’s as though her creations have lives off the page. I can imagine them having sock drawers and stories and best friends and adventures.
Jane will be joining us in Radiant to teach a class in the painterly style. She says “I selected the ‘Nymph’ as my theme for Radiant Faces because in our legends they embody transformation. Being neither one thing or another they are restless and curious about the world round them. I went to the Tate to see these paintings because when I think of a ‘Nymph’ these are the images that come to my mind. Ethereal faces fill of yearning for what is to come and what is left behind.”
Jane’s class will go live along with all the rest on October 1st. I will be stepping up to the plate on October 10th with my interpretation of her class.
There will be a lovely interview with Jane in the classroom, as well, so you won’t want to miss it!
Here’s Jane’s Bio

Ooooo!!!! I am super excited about this! :) What a great way to learn how to paint faces, emotions, as well as artful healing online at home by several of the best top artists! I posted on both twitter as well as fb. :) I have been telling 2 trauma survivors that I know of this class hoping to have them jump onboard as well. Thanks so much for the opportunity and for holding this class!
I love Jane’s work and am excited to see what she does for the first lesson! (And what’s not to love about nymphs!)
Love to tale a lesson from Jane. I tweeted. https://twitter.com/CarolMc105/status/514445211066716162 Thanks for the chance to win a seat.

I just shared on Facebook (twice, by accident lol) once using my own status thingy and then using the link to FB on here. (Phiona Jackson is my FB name)
I also tweeted.
And I just blogged about the course. For some reason the link isn’t a link in my blog – maybe I can fix that but I’m really new to blogging – like one week into it.
I just want to add that I would dearly love to win a place on this course. Faces are my favourite thing to paint, and it would be wonderful to learn from so many different teachers. Thank you for this opportunity, Effy!
I met Jane when she was one of the teachers at Sketchbook Skool. She is a wonderful teacher. I also do classes with Effy. She is equally fantastic in her art. It would be so exciting to win a seat at Radiance class.
