About Jana
May 20, 2006 by Jana Bouc
Hi. I am an artist working in watercolor, oils, monoprinting and digital art. My website has a display of finished paintings and this site has my daily journal, sketches, experiments and work in progress. If you’d like to contact me with questions or to purchase a painting, please email me at janabouc@yahoo.com or just leave a comment here.
My work has recently been featured in the book Watercolor Flower Artists Bible, Cedar Wings Magazine (the inflight magazine of Middle East Airlines), and on the cover of a book of poetry.
Hello, I was reading your recent blog and looking at your paintings. I love cruising around at different painter’s sites. It’s funny how other artists comments resonate when I read them….perhaps because have experienced the same thoughts myself from time to time. Anyhow, nice watercolours!
I love your pen & ink drawings and watercolors. Where do you teach? I live in Half Moon Bay. Thanks Stephanie
Hi Jana,
I love your drawings and the colors you use are wonderful. The seagull with the blue sky behind is beautiful. I don’t know what I liked most: your paintings or your sense of humor in the descriptions.

Hi Jan:
We really enjoyed your great website. Keep up the good work. Now I’m going to write your mom and let her know your art work was every bit as delightful as she said it would be.
Fondly, Cynthia and Bob
Very good work! Very nice watercolor!
I happened across your pictures, looking for drawings of klezmer musicians, yours are quite unique and fun.

Hi there,
Just thought that I’d let you know that I’ve used you as my artist for my Unit 1 A-Level Coursework! Your work is beautiful and eye-catching and I think you’ve done a brilliant job!
you have a superb blog, I will spend much time to look through your work and put your site to my favourites, greetings,

Jana, I am a retired (from UC Berkeley) illustrator and in retirement have found gouache to be the medium for me. Nearly all my work as a professional illistrator was done in black & whiite and I used to paint in oils but gave them up in consideation of landlord concerns.
I bought one of Cathy Johnson’s books, “Watercolor Pencil Magic,” when looking for some way to get color without the fumes, and gouache was a happy discovery.
Do you have a postal address that you are willing to share?I would like to send you paper prints of artwork 0n occasion, but have decided I am too much of a technophobe to deal with computers. I can do e-mail but am not happy about it, preferring to paint. At 75 it is still a great hobby for me.
