Nancy wanted to do watercolors and this was her idea. It was fun to paint in this medium after almost a year of not working in watercolors.
It looks easy to do these little pieces yet it took 3 hours to complete the paintings and lots of moaning and groaning! They turned out great!

A Note from a Student
Hi Jessel. Thank you so much for providing your art lessons in acrylic. I learned a whole new approach to painting. I am so excited to continue with new projects when I return home. Your calm instruction made it so easy to complete my painting. You are a great teacher of art. Your studio is wonderful with a diverse mix of art. I am in awe of your talent. Good luck on your most recent book. I hope to see you in January when I return to CA and take more lessons.
Take care. Mary


Palette Knife Class
I taught everyone how to do a tiny abstract and then pick your favorite on and blow it up. there are a couple of lovely examples with Erin and Leslie. Leslie did something unusual in that she put an abstract in the background to start with and then painted a lovely face over it. Both are brilliant examples. It was a great week of discovery.

Palette Knife Class
Gay tried my technique for the first time and as a realist she took off and just flew into beautiful free inspiring images

I call this a painting duet since she did most of the design and I put in the faces. There is a quiet spirit coming out of the flowers near the top.

Students Say

I would like to comment on the art classes I have begun with Jessel in Napa. As a disabled person, having lost the use of my left hand, and with zero art experience, I was amazed at what I was able to create in a single lesson. Jessel is a patient, talented artist who shares her techniques with people like me who know nothing. By the end of one class, I had an interesting, colorful piece of art that was actually good enough to frame or display. And the second class was a different technique with a completely different result. Very happy to be learning a creative activity to pursue. She is the best teacher!! ❤️❤️ Kathy Ryan

Wanted to tell you a big thank you for yesterday afternoon. I loved learning more of the “Jessel Method” and it was my first time inside a place in months. I love the Jessel Method and plan to play with it often. I use Saral transfer paper for my mandala templates. I am going to try it for tracing images as it comes in several colors either as sheets or a roll if you want to see if it can work as well for you as the carbon paper. Thank you for a lovely experience and I am delighted to expand upon what I learned from you yesterday; as it was also my first time adding an image in that way to an abstract painting. Have a wonderful day!
Peace and Joy, Joie
Peace is Joy at rest; Joy is Peace dancing!

"Thank you, thank you... it was a great class, Jessel. It's been almost two years since I started the class. The whole experience has been so good for me. You may not remember how and why I got started in my "art class journey" . I came in to the studio to give you those dress shoes I didn't wear to a fundraiser - and thought I'd never wear heels of any kind again - after my bike accident. I picked up one of your brochures and told you that the Kaiser Rehab suggested that doing new things in a new environment with new people would be a good step in recovery for me. I was all in of course and felt that a big plus was that Jessel Gallery was not a completely new thing for me. And the "rest is history" as they say." - Sally K.
