My name is Julie Weir, and I live and work as an artist on our Widebeam Barge, near the market town of Devizes, in the heart of the beautiful Wiltshire countryside.
I work mainly in Acrylic Inks and Watercolours to produce highly detailed paintings. The joy of painting, and the pleasure that it gives is a wonderful thing, and with my focus on British wildlife, I hope life on the water will lead to many successful works.
In 2013, just 1 year after picking up a paintbrush for the first time, I won through to the finals of BBC Wildlife Artist of the year, with my painting of a Hare. I haven’t looked back since.
In January 2020 my new online Watercolour Art School will go live, here you will be able to watch my step by step videos explaining how to paint realistic wildlife and flowers. www.julieweirart.co.uk
I also teach in person Acrylic ink classes in Chichester, West Sussex on a monthly basis.
