Jan Calderwood
Artist's Biography
I’ve been painting and drawing since I was a small child, and had my first painting in an exhibition when I was seven! I studied Art to A-Level, have done many drawing / painting / life drawing courses and have a Graphics Diploma and experience of life and work in a Graphics studio.
Portraits of people and animals have always been my speciality and I am happy to receive commissions. With over thirty exhibitions behind me I am now exhibiting in Spain, where I have lived for five years. I have happy customers in the UK, France, Spain and America. I have also won prizes for painting, including one for rapid outdoor painting here in Spain. I like to work quickly to keep my painting lively.
I also teach painting and drawing to the Art Club I run here and am thrilled to see my students developing their art. Even complete beginners are amazing themselves with their pen and ink work, pastels, watercolours and oils. Watching them overcome artistic problems and experience the joy of art is incredibly rewarding. This year we have held our first group exhibition and sold some work. The positive comments we received from the 180 visitors have been so encouraging for all the students.
