Before I tell you all about this life-changing creative process, let's talk about...
who this is really for.
You're an artist dreaming of the freedom of a loose and expressive painting style without the frustrations that hold you back. You're ready to learn a proven step by step process so you can successfully paint loose with confidence.
Whether you're...
- an amateur artist wanting to take your paintings to the next level with an expressive style that looks professional and purposeful
- a professional artist tired of overworking your paintings and wanting to increase the price point of your work
- a budding artist wanting to learn a tried and true method for painting with a bold and energetic style and gain confidence in your painting approach
You're in the right place and I'm about to tell you exactly how this course will give you the tools, direction, inspiration, and support to gain confidence in your own loose and expressive painting style.
By the end of this workshop
you will have:
- Learned how to choose a reference for success (instead of wasting time fighting a reference that works against you).
- Gained new knowledge of tools and materials Jen has found most helpful through her extensive years painting (rather than having to go through the frustrating and expensive process of guessing which materials to use).
- Experienced the freedom of knowing where to start your painting and be able to approach each new piece with a plan, without getting stuck on the blank canvas.
- Discovered Jen's best tip for painting loose and how to stop overworking your paintings.
- Learned how to decisively place your beginning strokes while setting the foundation for the style painting you want to create, without the fuss or restriction of a tight grid (even if you're used to one).
- Observed how Jen mixes her paints, and works through her painting process from start to finish. (Why continue getting frustrated spinning your wheels when you can learn directly from the person who's mastered this approach?)
- Assessed your painting and gained understanding on how to know when your piece is finished, and how to achieve a professional-looking signature.
I have always struggled to loosen up my work, and to create works with lots of expressive movement.
Jen's approach has given me a confidence boost in my commission portraits, and I can’t wait to try different styles with some new found flexibility. A huge thank you to Jen for putting [the sketch challenge] together! Every step was very well thought out, with useful reference pictures, and lots of great encouragement along the way. Thank you so much!

Jen’s disarming approach “Go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes” (Neil Gaiman) is so welcoming.
The presentations flow with ease allowing for beautiful mistakes or not. Her confidence reassures expressive line, shape and form can be our own, resonating a belief in the process. She is organized, uplifting and radiates an ability to attract movers and shakers with a story to render.

Jen has helped me to grow tremendously as an artist. I used to struggle with drawing technique and being loose but by working with Jen, I’ve been able to conquer my drawing challenges and paint fluidly. To put it simply, Jen is the best of the best.
Jeremy K.
Jen is not only a brilliant and insanely talented artist; she is also a teacher whose approach to teaching oil painting is practical yet inspiring, intense yet full of humor, and challenging yet encouraging. I appreciate more than anything her consistent push to make her students better artists and people.
Linette J.
Having zero experience in oil painting, Jen took me under her wing. Her personality and way of teaching is fun and inspiring. Jen’s method has given me so much confidence as an artist. I will never put my brush down!
Kerrie E.
I was nervous to start because I was afraid my paintings would turn out poorly, but Jen taught me to enjoy the process and learn through each painting.
Claire R.
Jen’s teachings of composition, line, form, shading, and color were absolutely invaluable as I began to branch out and dive into my own style. Jen’s teaching instilled a sense of confidence in me regarding my artistic skills, which may have been the most valuable lesson. I now feel equipped to take on any project.
