Online Mentorship Overview
Jennifer seeks for an emotional response in a representational landscape painting
rather than perfection. She looks for patterns of light, a focal point, subtle temperature
changes, and a reason to paint it in the first place.
This is mentorship: Jennifer will provide teaching from her own experiences, feedback through email and group discussions, and practice through your own homework which is given at the end of each session. The course will be built on what you wish to achieve.

"I have much experience playing in acrylic paint, developing my own style.Tell me what
you'd like to accomplish, or where you struggle- I am certain that I've been there before!

words- finding balance- have become my own."
