About Jane Daniell

Paintings:

I have been painting and drawing since childhood and in the last 20 years have built up a portfolio of illustrations, some based on Shakespeare’s plays, some based on the epic ‘Ryme of the Ancient Mariner’ (Coleridge) and have also completed various commissions including portraits (people and pets) I sell my work nationally and internationally; some as products (t-shirts, playing cards and greetings cards) and some as prints and posters.

I like to paint with gouache on a very smooth surface as I can achieve the detail.

Etchings:

I make aquatint etchings.  This is where the plate is immersed in acid and the line and tones achieved when the acid ‘bites’ the areas which have not been masked.  The colour is then applied by hand.  One colouring achieves only one print.  I normally print up to 30 of each image in a Limited Edition.
