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

The Sky's the Limit

This week the class was FULL and amazing paintings were produce by brand new students. Patricia was a valley visitor who was looking for something unique to do in the valley so she "dropped-in" and did a wonderful painting. We also had 2 wonderful ladies from Sonoma Mission Inn who brought a lovely perspective to the concept. There is something so exciting about the innocence of first time painters. There is a child-like discovery in their view point and a willingness to just JUMP IN!

Jump in the whole class did, and this enormous gathering with its spectacular lunch brought smiles to my face all day long. We even kidded that we could do a Jessel Class Recipe book which is not a bad idea and start a Jessel Restaurant!  Check out Clara Blair's painting on What's New and News

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."
