Jennifer/Augustwren are excited to bring back the most popular theme we’ve taught in our Zoom classes. This Sunday we will focus on painting one or a few people incorporated into a scene. The workshop will begin with a short show and tell from each of us, showing what we're working on currently as well as our sketchbooks from Oaxaca. For each of our 40-minute painting demos, we will show different ways that we paint people in a place. Jennifer takes you to a colorful street in India and I am painting a scene from a cafe in Oaxaca. Using photo reference we simplify the details and show how we interpret our reference.
You will have the opportunity to see our painting process, and either paint along with us or just watch. While we paint you can ask questions in the chat where we will monitor them and try to answer everything.
We love keeping these Zoom workshops donation-based so they are accessible to everyone. Please keep in mind that we work hard to give you great classes, so we appreciate that those of you who can afford to pay more will do so, and this helps those who can afford less!
We suggest a minimum of $20, but we understand that may not be possible for everybody. Please be honest and pay what you can afford.

For International Women’s Month, we will be donating a portion of our proceeds to Vital Voices, an organization that supports and empowers women in leadership positions.
I’ve had a big week in NYC for a Vital Voices exhibition at the UN ( more on this in my next newsletter) Here’s a link to some press on the event last night at the United Nations!
When i am in NYC I love staying at the National Arts Club on Gramercy Park. I’m so grateful to have a friend who is a member and she books me a room. It’s a treasure trove of inspiration! Inviting my artist friends to come and draw in the beautiful bar and living rooms is such fun. I don’t love drawing in public when people can look over my shoulder so I usually find a spot in a corner to draw unobserved.
More on my week in NYC soon.
I hope to see some of you on Sunday!

One of these days the universe will align, and I will be able to take one of your classes. 🎨
