Workshop Comments

In-person Workshop Student Reviews

I very much enjoyed the brushstrokes workshop with Jessie. She is such a good teacher. She taught me things that I had never learned before in my 7 years of taking art classes. She was also very positive and encouraging. I hope she offers more workshops in the Wichita area in the near future.
Jessie Rasche is a gifted artist and a gifted teacher. She both pushes the students to go outside of their comfort zone; trying new techniques or looking at a work from a new perspective, while also inspiring the courage to try a new path. She also respects the individuals vision and approach to a painting and their individual level of experience.
Thumbs Up to Jessie!

Live-Online Workshop Student Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I have been a student in Jessie’s year-long workshop and am eagerly looking forward to the start of next year’s 2025 workshop. Jessie has a generosity of spirit that’s reflected in how she encourages class members to paint from where we’re at, not in a way that echoes Jessie’s style, but in a way that encourages us to use observation, drawing, color mixing and paint application to improve our work. Her demos are really helpful and she is eager to respond to our questions with thoughtful, and often researched, answers.”
– Carol Clay

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I took Jessie’s Artistic Voice class last year, and it was truly an amazing experience! Jessie is not only a fantastic instructor but also incredibly supportive and encouraging. She has a wonderful way of helping you tap into your creativity and grow as an artist.

“The class environment is welcoming and collaborative—I’ve enjoyed connecting with other participants who are just as passionate about art. The feedback and inspiration I’ve gained have been invaluable.

“I’m so impressed with the class that I’ve signed up for another year, and I can’t wait to continue this creative journey. If you’re looking for a meaningful and enriching art workshop, I highly recommend Jessie’s classes!”
– Stacie G

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
 I took a drawing class from Jessie through an art group I belong to. She was professional, friendly, and alert to questions from the group. I most appreciated the explanation of value studies as that has been something I have struggled with …
