About the ArtRoom
Hello! I'm Jarnie, and welcome to Jarnie's ArtRoom, my online botanical painting school.
Having being a qualified teacher and educator since 2001, I'm always excited to welcome students to botanical art. Through my online tutorials you'll gain confidence, develop new skills and begin to create the botanical watercolours you want. And really enjoy your painting.
Whether you're working full time, fitting in projects at the weekend, or have a bit more time, then I am here to help support, and guide you through some of my favourite subjects.

The ToolBox is a practical series of equipment and studio based videos. Designed to help you organise your workspace, choose your kit and select your paper and paints, the ToolBox will help you.
InPractice
The InPractice library of videos are designed to help you learn new techniques, and practice them first in simple to follow exercises. Perfect for a sketchbook, or for when you have little time.

This beautiful Iris study is perfect for beginners. or if you would like a quick and easy project to try my watercolour tutorials.
It can be completed in just a few hours, and is a great introduction to all of my favourite painting techniques.
The workshop is filmed 'as it happens' so you get all of the detail as I paint. Just like a live demo. NO speeding up and minimum editing. It's just me painting, and talking to you.
