Past Classes: Take a look at what we've created this year!  And in 2019, 2018 and 2017!

Finding Fish in Abstraction - 1/22/20

I am teaching a new method of working in abstraction first and then developing images still maintaining an abstract style. This class jumped in and swam with the fishes!

Letting Go to the Birds - 1/19/20

This was a fantastic opportunity to let go of doing birds in a realistic manner and let the fantasy of birds appear. Everyone found lots of birds and the pieces are unique and very different

Free as a Bird - 1/15/20

This is a great selection of images and I think a breakthrough for the class. I showed the class the technique I use to let go of reality and allow the paint to speak to you with the intention of finding images in the paper. Each piece was brilliant and exciting to watch as the student delved deeply into the magic of the message.

Abstract Visions - 1/12/20

Abstraction is far from easy when it works and it takes truly letting go and floating with color and concept. This was a great start for many of these students. It is a new year and we are diving deep into the unknown.

• This is not a continuous class so you can jump in any week and I will surprise you with the subject matter and medium.
• I work in mainly watercolor but I also paint on glass or use acrylic.
• I have some supplies for sale like palettes and paper and I supply the product to first-time students and then give you a list of things to purchase for the class (but I also have supplies if you forget yours!).
• It helps if you RSVP so I save a place for you in class. (the room fits 9 people so I like to know we have enough room).

Join the Fun!

Our Students Say:

“Class is never dull and never the same.  Somehow Jessel always presents a new way of looking at artistic creation.  She's organized, prepared, and then waltzes in and makes all her work--and talent-- seem easy.  And she will not let you fail.  More than once, she has pulled the rabbit out of the hat when I've been struggling with something I was sure was worthless.  Add to this a core of regulars sprinkled with an array of newcomers, all with varying degrees of experience, and the results are entertaining and varied. "

"I love to see the "unveilings" at the end of class, when it becomes obvious once again that everyone has unique style and interpretation.  The ways to interpret a flower, a vineyard, an abstract are endless.”

​"An inspiring artist and good teacher who can find the gem in any piece and teach how to enhance it."
