Art Classes at Durham Arts Council
Jennie has been on the faculty of Durham Arts Council since 2024, and took a pause post-stroke. Her focus has been on watercolor classes, both several week sessions and Friday Night Makes. She is resuming with one class starting end of Summer, then has some Fall classes planned.
Jennie’s Approach
Starting through her Art Education degree earned in 2000 from Syracuse University, along with her foundational experience as a high school student of a professional artist, Nancy Bossert, from PA, she grew to teach art in a variety of settings. Including at art centers, public school, coworking spaces, outdoors, and her professional studio, Jennie has a rich teaching history. She couples expertise as a painter / art educator with a nurturing approach as an instructor, and has left an indelible mark on aspiring artists, with a particular ability to see the needs of each student.

ABOUT:
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. The class emphasizes exercise-driven work rather than finished pieces to help build fluidity and confidence in painting.
SUPPLIES:
Students are asked to bring in special objects that they would like to paint for the class.
Class kit of supplies are available during the class, or bring your own.
