Nighttime Watercolor Class & Corrected Link to Support Mental Health thru Art

Published: Mon, 06/08/20

Welcome Back to my Studio

Hi there ,

Thank you for all of the feedback from my email that went out over the weekend. It's always good to hear that you found it valuable. I heard a lot of great feedback to what I shared - including the resources on Black artists, literature, and general support for Black Lives Matter. If you missed the email, here's the link.

Additionally, I shared about an initiative during the month of June to donate a percentage of sales to a charity that funds therapy for Black women and girls. The link was incorrect - see below for more info.

Lastly, I had promised an email on Sunday about the reintroduction of my Wednesday Watercolor class and time just passed me by. So, it's all below. I hope you can find some way of joining me this month, whether creating, collecting, or finding ways of supporting change in your own community.

Creatively,

Nighttime Watercolor Class Returns

Resuming this Wednesday, Wednesday Watercolor is offered once a week during an evening time slot. While developing your artistic side you can find time to think, create, and at times find mindfulness. You'll be invited to work on independent projects - I will give guidance if you need more direction. Beginner students will learn 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 are aided by individualized demos, along with critique by Jennie, and the support of an artistic community.

Wednesdays, 6/10 - 7/29
7 - 9pm EST
LOCATION: Zoom classes & a Quiet Spot in your Home

HELP ME HELP LOVELAND

Throughout the month of June, I will be aiming to raise $480 (covering 4 therapy sessions) to be donated to the Loveland Foundation's Therapy Fund for Black Women and Girls. They are an organization based out of Newburgh, NY, aiming to provides financial assistance for therapy to Black women and girls, nationally. This aligns beautifully with my interest in mental health and I was thrilled to find them.

There are two ways to support this goal of mine: purchase any of my art, and a portion of your purchase will go towards this goal (50% of original existing artwork, 20% of yoga mats / functional art), or you can donate directly on my fundraising page for Loveland.

P.S. - I'm a dog lover, sometimes my students are also.

Below shows the evolution of one of my student's paintings of her dog. She created it during the Daily Watercolor Retreat, over several classes.
