In this Technique Takeaway, Jane Davies shares the techniques she uses to create a variety of rich, textured surfaces. She demonstrates building layers with paint, collage, and paint mediums (such as matte medium), as well as subtractive techniques such as scratching, scraping, tearing, sanding, and more. 

These techniques can be used on any sturdy substrate, but Jane demonstrates on wood panel and Bristol paper, using acrylic paints and mediums as well as collage. 

Jane Davies is a full time artist working in collage, painting, and encaustic. She offers workshops at her studio and nationwide, focusing on helping people to find a personal and playful approach to art.

Beginning as a potter in the early nineties, selling her colorful hand-painted ceramics at craft shows, Davies gradually transitioned into freelance art, designing tableware, fabric, paper goods, stationery, and other products, using painting and collage as her medium. For the past several years, Davies has put most of her efforts towards teaching, writing, and making art.
