In this painting course, Jenny will lead you through the fundamentals of landscape painting from composition to finished piece.  

You will learn how to break down a composition into readable shapes and patterns, how to mix colors as well as how to apply different painting applications all within an art historical framework.  Jenny’s goal is to work with each student from where they are and help them take the steps to get where they want to be.

Jenny is an award-winning, independent, St. Augustine area artist and has shown her work internationally in galleries and museums.  Her formal education includes a BS from Vanderbilt University, a certificate in Museum Studies from Northwestern University and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Supplies Needed:

A few images of landscapes you might want to paint - printed out

a 16”x20” canvas,

a painter’s palette (do not get one with dividers as it is not conducive to mixing colors, paper plates can work quite well),

a variety of round and flat paintbrushes,

a general set of tube acrylic paints including black, green, yellow, red, brown, blue and two tubes of white or one large tube (white is used more than the other colors),

a rag for clean-up,

a plastic cup for water,

a pencil and eraser,

a plastic trash bag to transport your piece,

a sketchbook or white paper to make preliminary sketches on. 

Class sessions will be held on Wednesdays, November 1, 8, 15, 29 and December 6, 13 from 11:30 to 1:30 at the River House (179 Marine Street, St. Augustine 32084)

Classes are for ages 18 and up.

This class is for students with prior knowledge of composition and art (for example, anyone who has taken Jenny’s Acrylic Landscape Painting class should consider this next step!). In this class, a variety of techniques and media will be introduced that can serve to add to the students’ current repertoire and consequently deepen the artist’s practice and individual voice. The use of mixed media, mono-printing, layering, scraping, papermaking, an exploration of earth art and the incorporation of words/poetry are all possible classes. Jenny will schedule the materials for each class based on interest. Her goal is to further develop your style all within an art historical framework. Please bring a project you are working on to continue your practice between groups of demonstrations / experimentations. It is the “fabric of the individual voice” that Jenny will try to help cultivate by working with each student.

Materials:  

Bring to class the materials you enjoy using in your practice along with a current project. Don’t worry, if you are “stuck”, we can discuss. For example: a variety of acrylic paints, brushes, watercolor paints, papers, inventive mark-makers, colored pencils, graphite, fine markers, a palette (paper plates work well!), inspirational writings, sketchbook thoughts, a rag for clean-up, a cup for water, a pencil and eraser, sketchbook paper, a plastic bag to transport your piece etc… (I also invite water soluble oil paints as well, but these may be harder to transport while wet).
