Drawing Masterclass - including freehand portrait
Jake exhibits widely in the south of England and in 2004 was a finalist in the Dail Mail’s ‘Not The Turner Prize’ competition. In 2007 his work was selected for the Royal Society of British Artist’s exhibition in The Mall Galleries, London, and from that time he has been contributing regular articles about his painting style for The Artist magazine. Jake has been the subject of three instructional DVDs by Townhouse Films: Watercolour from Dark to Light, Light and Movement in Watercolour and most recently Going Wild in Watercolour. Jake’s book Light and Movement in Watercolour was first released in 2012.
Jake has been winner of category and best in show at Marwell International Wildlife Art Society’s annual exhibition and in 2009 was awarded the prestigious St. Cuthberts Mill award for best watercolour at the Society of Equestrian Artist’s annual show.
Inspired by light and movement Jake’s paintings are a reflection of the world around him. As well as exhibitions in London and the south of England he has undertaken many fine art commissions for individuals and notable organisations including The National Trust.
In addition to his work, Jake demonstrates and tutors all over the country and runs his own workshops and masterclasses in Dorset. Details of these can be found at:-
