Hi Everyone,
New Zoom Class with me and
Sunday, August 4, 1-3:15 pm EST.
with our VERY special guest - @gavindedraw!
Join us for a summer-inspired Zoom workshop : Summer Vibes. There are so many great things about the zoom classes Gayle and I do together; besides the community and the teaching, another one is that it gives me a focus for the few weeks before to hone in on exactly what I’d like to paint for class. I’ve been so busy with a few projects lately that I haven’t had time to paint for myself. The prep for class is for both me and for you! I was at the beach the other day and as always I draw people lounging and standing at the shore. I love doing the people individually but I don’t get excited about that view as much. (Gayle is so great at it!!) I turned around at one point and saw all the colorful umbrellas and people. So I’m starting my exploration for the class facing away from the water, looking back.
I made a gouache palette to have the color at my fingertips while playing with ideas. The paint is water-based gouache, I can reconstitute it when it dries out. I like it much better than the pre-made kind you can purchase from the art store. I’ve chosen my favorite colors so it’s geared just for me. (I don’t have a brand for this palette, it is 12x6”, it’s kind of bulky. It works well in my studio)
When I use this palette I use the paint with more water than I do with acrylagouache. I like both! It feels fresh to mix things up, with paint and other mediums..
I’m sure I will evolve on this theme, After our painting demos, we will show you our process of how we got to the final piece - giving you a peek into our creative process.
From 2:45- 3pm our friend Gavin is joining us and will show examples of how he handles a summery scene.
This is a donation only class, We suggest a minimum of $20.00
EVERYONE who signs up, for live or video only will get the video forever.
Why come to our workshops? Here are some reviews!
Love the inspiration and affirmation of not-so-perfect work. Teachers are supportive and encouraging of all levels of work. I also like the banter between Gayle & Jennifer about each other's work, and how they do it differently.
You both took on complex images and broke down the process you each use to create your gorgeous artwork. It is fascinating to watch each of you work. I think working in a loose style is deceptively difficult! You both put loads of pre work, thought, and experience into your work. You each approach color and composition differently and I love trying out what I see you do.
I enjoy seeing your individual processes, hearing how you work through each piece, and appreciate how you both walk us through ways you might rework areas that you might not initially be 100% happy with.

My new 100% cotton scarf is now in the shop! This pattern was a best seller last year, now reprinted on a light cotton, large 44” square. From an original AugustWren floral painting, in rich greens, with vibrant flowers. This one works well for summer into winter. Limited edition of 22.
Hope to see you on August 4th
