Jem Bowden
Watercolour Landscape Painter & Tutor

*** Dedham Hall course, April 12th – 19th 2025.  Join me in Constable Country! ***

Hello and welcome to my website.  I’m a watercolour landscape painter and tutor, based in Crail, in the ‘East Neuk’ of Fife, Scotland.
You can view and purchase my original (unframed) paintings in the Plein Air and Studio galleries on this site, and I have framed work for sale in ‘The Weem Gallery‘ in Pittenweem, Fife.
I teach watercolour painting one-to-one in my home studio, in the great outdoors and online (via Teams or Zoom) and via my instructional videos.  I also lead residential watercolour courses (or ‘painting holidays’)  and am available for demonstrations, talks, or workshops around (mostly) the northern half of the UK.  A regular contributor over the last decade for Leisure Painter magazine and others, I also authored the ‘Watercolour Diploma’ course for London Art College, have created videos for Raw Umber Studios and participated in The Watercolour Masters event, 2022.

Original Watercolour Landscape Paintings For Sale

The vast majority of my work is completed entirely outdoors.  The Plein Air Gallery features these paintings, while the Studio Gallery shows work that I do over the winter months (if/when being outdoors is impossible – though I do paint in pretty rough weather!).  You can view and purchase original watercolours from both galleries.  I don’t sell prints; every artwork represents a unique, lived experience.
