About

I sketch in London and elsewhere. This site is a collection of my drawings and prints. My drawings are done on location, using pen and ink and watercolour. I also create prints by hand using etched copper plates, or woodcuts.

I am very keen that my images be used. I like to get them out there in the world. So if you have a use for any of my images, please contact me via the contact page or leave a comment. Most of the etchings are about A5 size or smaller, so I can send you an original. The drawings and watercolours are generally in sketchbooks. I can send you a high quality digital image, or a digital print, or an original.

I also undertake commissions. Please contact me if you’d like me to make a watercolour sketch of your house, apartment block or workplace, or if you’d like to commission a picture of a special place as a gift.

Here are some examples of how my work has been used:

Etching: Greeting card

Original Watercolour framed

Three etchings in an art collection

Etching: Greeting Card

Postcards for “Lady of Avenel”

Notecards for The Charterhouse

Cromwell Tower print in an office

Postcards and Business Card for “Lady of Avenel”

If you use an image downloaded from this website, please credit JaneSketching.com, and let me know. For a printed publication, please ask me for a higher quality image.

I’m always on the lookout for interesting subjects, so contact me if you’d like me to have a go at the view from your office window, or if you’d like me to try to draw your building, or put it in an etching.

My thoughts about why I draw are on the page “About my Sketching”

My drawing tools are described on the page “Drawing tools”.  See my paintboxes on this page: Paintboxes.

I was invited to write a piece about my drawings on board “Lady of Avenel”. Here’s my draft: “The Swimming Artist”

I constructed this website using WordPress with the “TwentySixteen” theme. If you find errors or broken links, I’d be very grateful if you’d let me know.

Thank you for browsing my site. I am interested to know what you think!
