How will you choose which colors to put on your palette for your next painting? The journey to find out will be fun and revelatory!
Learning about the effects of specific limited palettes, and then practicing using that limited palette in your own color study will help you discover the palette combinations that speak to your heart.
You will come away from the workshop with more understanding of how to choose your palette colors for your next painting.
The workshop will be live over zoom, so you can join from the comfort of your own painting space and interact fully. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, show your progress and get feedback. And if the live times don’t work for you, you will have access to the recordings.
This workshop will have short lessons and demos and a lot of supported work time; you will progress in your skills through practice.
What You’ll Get
- Six 3-hour workshops
- each starting with a short lesson on a specific limited palette
- then a short demo (just a sketch-in, not a full painting demo – to save most of the time for you to paint)
- then 90 minutes of painting time to practice a color study, during which time you can ask questions, share work, or ask for feedback – or just paint with company. I’ll be on the zoom.
- and ending with Q&A / sharing time
- Anytime access to recordings of the lessons, demos, Q&A and sharing time until 2 weeks after the end of the workshop
- You can email me with questions about the lessons or to request painting critiques – starting with a specific question or concern of yours

“I have enjoyed your online lessons….. You are a very talented artist and I’ve enjoyed ‘meeting’ you!” Shelley P

About the Instructor
Hi, I’m Jessie. I love to help artists become more confident painters in my online workshops.
I am a professional artist based in South Dakota, an exhibiting member of Oil Painters of America, an award-winning member of the American Impressionist Society, a Signature Member of Artists of the Black Hills, and a Southwest Art Magazine “Artist to Watch”.
My work focuses on capturing the invisible connection between animals in a group, between animals and the land, and between people – in an unsentimental, painterly style filled with visible brush strokes and palette knife marks. The result is artwork which is often described as both “painterly” and “comforting.”
I am passionate about color, composition, brush and palette knife marks, and making beautiful art.
