Hand Rendering for Designers
Taught by Jo Chance
Course Description
Suitable for Designers from All Disciplines and Amateurs
‘Painting is Jo’s passion’. An Art Foundation course and a First Class degree in Fine art at Brighton college of Art allowed her to start developing her creative ideas early on.
During the mid 80's and early 90's she worked in New York, Madrid and London designing for both the fashion and furnishing industries. This global design experience enabled her to establish a successful freelance design studio in London.
Having worked in the commercial world for a number of years Jo’s interest in the arts turned increasingly back to painting, to the point where she now devotes all her time to creating contemporary images.
The exploration and manipulation of a wide range of media is an integral part of the development of Jo’s work – ‘there are times when the creative process resembles alchemy more than art’. Her love of colour continues to be another recurrent theme, the palette often being limited to evoke an intensity of mood. Jo’s abstracted landscapes and figurative paintings hang in a number of prestigious hotels and spas around the world. She is a successful exhibitor during, the renowned Oxford Art Weeks, shows her work in a range of galleries across the country and has a growing group of loyal collectors. She has been invited on many occasions to give presentations and demonstrations of her work.
Remember, if you're a self-employed professional you can set these courses off against tax as 'Continued Professional Development'.

How it works
About Jo Chance
She can help you do those beautiful plans and sketches that are good enough to frame. Jo's work does not easily fit into definable categories, as her interests cover a wide range of subjects: atmospheric cityscapes, figurative work, abstracted landscapes….. She is currently exploring a series of gently unsettling faces which explore themes of how it feels physically and emotionally to be a female both now and in the past. Working mainly in oils, but also fusing different media, she creates images which resonates with a quietly contemplative spirituality.
