Janet de Vries

Acrylics

Janet started her art journey after early retirement from the teaching profession. She learnt on courses and workshops run by well known artists, and is now passing her knowledge on. She has won many awards for her work and continues to show with art societies, exhibitions and in her own gallery. Janet likes to work with acrylics on canvas as it lends itself to the details she wishes to achieve in her photo realism style. She'll teach you how to effectively use acrylics and create texture.
