Jill Winch
Jill is an award winning published botanical artist. She is a member of the Society of Botanical Artists and regularly exhibits at their annual exhibition in London. She tutors from her studio at home and demonstrates her work for art groups around the country. She has held art holidays in Tuscany, Ireland and locations in England. More recently, Jill has had two books published: Painting Flowers and Drawing Flowers. Both are a step-by-step guide to achieving success in either pencil and pen and ink work and also watercolour and coloured pencils.
Jill shares her discipline with lots of demonstrations, as a group and also with individuals. This enables students to not feel out of their depth and she is happy to tutor all, from the beginner through to the more experienced. Jill has always had a love of drawing and when she was approached and asked to write and illustrate a book on Drawing Flowers, she happily accepted. This book can be bought now combined with her second book Painting flowers in colour.
