Classes & Events

Here you have it…

My schedule for 2012

The year starts out at University Art in Sacramento with my morning and afternoon class:

“In Love with Watercolor Portraits!”

Six Week Session:  Tuesdays, January 17 – February 21, 2012, 10:00am-12:30pm
Cost:  $160
University Art, Fulton & Marconi, Sacramento, CA
This class includes all things figurative:  skin, features, clothing, backgrounds, hands, hair, color schemes, and more.   Jeannie will demonstrate each week on a different facet to help you create your own beautiful watercolor portraits.  Use a magazine photo or personal snapshot. You will work with other enthusiastic students, intent on capturing a likeness, telling a story, creating a mood, or recalling the memory of a special person.

Watercolor portraits are a great challenge, fun and rewarding…. Learning how to paint watercolor portraits are more like a journey than a day trip.

Come join us!

Sign up early… Class fills up fast!

“Transparent Layers in Watercolor”

Six Week Session:  Tuesdays, January 17 – February 21, 2012,  1:00pm – 3:30pm
Cost:  $160
University Art, Fulton & Marconi, Sacramento, CA
A class for beginning through advanced painters

One aspect of a beautiful painting is the artist’s ability to capture the look and feel of objects.  In this class Jeannie’s demonstrations will include how to paint a variety of surfaces such as:  shiny & mat, textured and patterned, transparent and translucent.  Experience Jeannie’s patient teaching methods as she helps you and others learn through encouragement, examples and helpful suggestions.

You may work from your own photo and your own choice of subject matter.

In each class you will be treated to:  a demonstration, plenty of painting time, individual attention and gentle critiques.  Come and have fun learning and experimenting

Free demo at University Art

Date:  Saturday, March 3, 2012
Time:  1:00 – 2:30 pm.
I will be conducting a free watercolor demonstration at University Art on Fulton and Marconi in Sacramento, Ca.

Please tell your friends.  University Art has other artists as free presenters throughout the year.  It’s a great way to get to see artists at work, to get inspired and to find out if there are  classes you might like to take.
