Winter Enrolling at VACNJ
FALL STILL ENROLLING at ASOA
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

WATERCOLOR & MORE
Tuesdays 9:30am - 11:30 September 17th - December 10th Get your art muscles turned on each week while you think, create, and at times find mindfulness. Using watercolor as our starting medium, you'll be guided through basic painting and drawing processes that include perception, values, contrast, and paint handling, while more advanced students will develop a direction in their work, honing media and exploring composition and subject matter. Students work at their own pace and often on independent projects. Class size is limited to 8 students, allowing for a more intimate class structure.
Students provide supplies. At times Jennie will surprise students with samples and trial supplies. A supply list is provided upon registration. LOCATION: A Sip Of Art 235 Prospect Ave., West Orange, NJ Located next to My Gym, behind Retro Fitness 10 Classes - $530 (no longer available) 8 Flex Classes - $440 (purchase a class pack) 4 Flex Classes - $250 (purchase a class pack) Drop In - $65 |
LOOSENING UP IN WATERCOLOR
Thursdays 7:00pm - 9:30pm January 9 - March 12 Watercolor is generally considered a loose medium, but many end up working with it more tightly. If you’re dreaming of letting go, join us as we use the element of time and some of the principles of figure drawing to develop a sense of immediacy, conveying subjects with only the most essential information. Subject matter will vary with preference for still life objects over photo references. Students will have the opportunity to paint from the figure at the end of the session. The class emphasizes exercise-driven work rather than finished pieces to help build fluidity and confidence in painting.
LOCATION: VACNJ Visual Arts Center of NJ 68 Elm Street, Summit, NJ 10 Classes - $330 |

WATERCOLOR BASICS AND BEYOND
Wednesdays 12:30 - 3pm January 8 - March 11 Take a deep dive into understanding how to work with watercolors, starting with the basics. Explore watercolor tools, surfaces, techniques, and painting from a very portable perspective—using supplies that can follow you from home to the studio and then on the road. Subject matter will include simple still life objects, photo references, and art references. Students will learn to perceive, mix, and paint local color, utilizing a limited color palette, as well as see values and use drawing to help improve your work. More advanced students can participate in the beginner exercises as a refresher or work independently with the instructor’s guidance.

FAQs:Can I enroll after a class has begun?
Yes, enrollment in most classes is ongoing throughout the year and I offer flexible tuition packages. If I'm interested, but your existing schedule doesn't work for me is there still a chance for me to enroll? Possibly, please contact me with your availability. I may have other interested students on a wait list and might be able to form another session. Or, private lessons are a possibility. Do I need to bring supplies? Supplies are included in your quarterly registration fee, unless otherwise noted. A sketchbook is recommended. Students who register for the full year in the fall will receive a sketchbook.
