Jan de Ville

Hello and thank you for visiting my site!

I'm a self-taught artist living in North Devon, UK.

I discovered my talent for drawing quite by accident a decade ago while working with a little girl in primary school.

We were doing a pet project and to encourage her to draw I drew a picture of my dog - which actually turned out looking like my dog!! I showed my Mum and we laughed, but I was immediately hooked and got some materials, some online tuition, and carried on from there.

I adore the countryside, wildlife, being out in nature, and all types of animals. I also love walking on Exmoor, Dartmoor and the Southwest coast path where I like to observe and photograph what's around me; as a secondary subject I also like to paint the landscape.

I draw mostly in Coloured Pencils, but also paint in Oils and Pastels.

I'm available to take a limited amount of commissions each year and I work from a photograph so no sitting required, therefore you can place an order from anywhere in the world!
