About Jeanette Cole

After graduating in 1988, I became an illustrator, specialising in watercolour, illustrating for magazines, advertising campaigns and books. For many years I have illustrated for the publications of IPC magazines, for example, “19” magazine (horoscopes) and “Woman’s Realm” (both fiction and cookery). Other publications I have illustrated for include “BBC Good Food” , “Country Homes and Interiors”, “Nursing Times”, “Best” and “Somerset and Avon Life”.

In addition I have illustrated for many advertising campaigns, for example, Tesco food leaflets.

Also, I illustrated Chapman Pincher’s book, “ One Dog and Her Man” published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 1991 (book cover and inside illustrations).

Furthermore in 1991 I joined Reading Adult College as a part time art tutor. Later, this was renamed as Reading Adult and Community College and today is known as New Directions where I still currently teach. In 1992, I also started teaching at Newbury College where I have continued to teach for many years.

In 2012 I began teaching my private drawing and painting art courses. Personally, I get immense satisfaction from teaching people to draw and paint, from complete beginners to the more experienced artists who wish to improve their knowledge and skills.
