GOING SMALL
Have you ever tried to make a very small intuitive painting? Pretty hard, huh? Reminds me of when I was learning to knit and found out that knitting a tiny sweater or socks for a baby is much harder than painting a sweater or socks for an adult.

If you've taken my Painting by Heart class, you will utilize what you've learned there and apply that knowledge and combine it with fun methods that are involved with making a whole bunch of small intuitive paintings at one time. If you've not taken my Painting by Heart class, no worries! You will learn first this method of going small and apply that knowledge to go big at a regular Painting by Heart class that I offer at a future date. If you want to. :)


The supply list is the same as usual, except the size and number of canvases. I would say canvases anywhere from 4 x 4 inches to 6 x 8 inches that total say anywhere from 10-20 canvases is what you will want.

 

FEELINGS
How do you feel when you look at the canvas and consider the process of painting? Is it possible for you to conceive of a way for that feeling to change and evolve? If so, how might you go about getting your feelings about the painting process to evolve ... anywhere from slightly to radically different?


INTUITION
Just like I would never hand over a sewing machine to someone who has never sewn and say "follow your intuition and just sew," I also think that guidance with paints and related materials are needed to get a person to feel comfortable with the painting process, before we engage our intuitions.

BEFORE LUNCH
I will demonstrate and teach numerous ways to help you manipulate and apply paint onto multiple small canvases so that you can build up layers, causing the canvas to transition from a "young" canvas to a "mature" canvas. The first part of this class will move quickly on purpose, to get you to stop over-thinking and simply try the methods out quickly, so that we don't develop emotional attachment to the marks prematurely, as we work with two canvases simultaneously.

As we have digest the methods and as we potentially discover new ones together, we will rely more on our intuition as we each make decisions, solve problems, and wrestle with the resounding "what next?" when it comes to building layers on a canvas.

AFTER LUNCH
We will embark on either leaving our canvases abstract or having them project a conceptual image. To do the latter, we will work on how to observe our canvases, and how to coax out concepts that the canvases may be projecting out to us through the marks that we have made. I will also demonstrate methods of how to deliberately place a concept onto the canvas, regardless of what the canvas might be saying. To leave a canvas abstract, I will demonstrate more fine-tuning methods that add polish and details that help an abstract work feel "done."

We will discuss many topics that will strengthen our fluency in the language of painting and art-making. We will discover the joy and power of expressing our unique perspectives through the wondrous world of painting.

SCHEDULE:

  • Arrive & Settle: 9:00 :: Time to arrive, and settle in.
  • Class Segment A: 9:30-12:00 :: Class time with Jenny who will demonstrate and guide the 1st part of class.
  • Lunch & Stroll: 12:00 PM :: You can choose to brown bag it or take a stroll to one of the many hip and artsy eateries in the historic Artist's Village in Santa Ana, like C4 Deli, Chapter One, Paninoteca, Boldo, 4th Street Market, Cafe Calacas, and The Gypsy Den.
  • Class Segment B: 1:30-4:30 PM :: Class time with Jenny who will guide the 2nd part of class.
  • Show & Tell, Clean-Up & Depart: 4:30-5:00 PM


SUPPLY LIST:

  • 15-20 (or more) small stretched canvases: anywhere from 4 x 4 inches to 6 x 8 inches. They can be assorted sizes.
  • Acrylic paints in assorted colors (the more the better ... and make sure to bring colors that make you feel good). I favor Golden fluid acrylics, Golden heavy body acrylics, and also Holbein heavy acrylics.
  • Paint palette
  • Paintbrushes in assorted sizes (I like these. Filberts and flats for sure in several sizes)
  • Palette knife (or two or three): there are lots to choose from. This is a pretty standard one that lots of people start out with. Pick one that feels right to you. Eventually, you'll probably want to get several but you'll learn to use the one you get during class.
  • Baby wipes
  • Sketchpad or journal and pencil that you can write in and do practice drawings in
