“This masterclass was created to teach you the things I wish someone taught me when I started painting. It gives you the tools and methods required to develop a forever skill and long-lasting relationship with painting. “ – Jess
Participants will learn how to paint through three fundamental modes; perspective, value, and colour temperature.
This Masterclass is broken up into 7 Chapters with a total of 7.5 hours of video content. Jess will be demonstrating in each of the chapters, including painting a portrait from start to finish.
This masterclass is built around 100% practice-based learning. It will not be as helpful to just watch the videos and listen to Jess’ teaching. Students will need to actively participate in the practices Jess has assigned. While she is there to support and guide students, the success of this course depends on students commitment to showing up to the work for themselves.
“The artists that I have seen have the most long-term success from, aren’t the ones who naturally produced the best artwork early on, they are the ones who learnt how to master themselves and keep showing up to practice.” – Jess
Currently running Australia’s largest private art school with over 700 weekly students, Jess has established herself not only as a professional art teacher with over 26 years experience, but as an award winning artist in her own right. This combination of both practicing artist & teacher is what sets Jess and her workshop apart.
Having also attended in-person workshops around the world by other industry professionals including Casey Baugh, David Kassan, Shana Levenson, Robin Eley and many more excellent art educators, she continues to curiously search for language and understanding to share with others. She believes that art making is a skill and expression that should be made available to everyone.
