Work by students

Just to give you an idea of what students make during the art classes:
 

Students in Jacqueline's classes work at their individual level. Some students are advanced, working on their own oil painting projects. Others have just started and are training hard to get to grips with the sight-size method Jacqueline teaches.

On the left we see a still life made by a student that has been taking classes for several years.









To the left, we see an example of a drawing of a student that just started drawing following the method of Bargue.













To the right we see an example of a hanging cloth drawn following the sight-size method.















After studying these drawing techniques, student typically copy a selected painting from one of the great Masters. We see an example to the left.

















They then continue by painting still lives. First in greys only, later in colour, of which we see some examples below.

On weekends, Jacqueline organised several plein air painting sessions (painting outdoors). In addition, she organised an intensive workshop in the Loire region in the summer of 2009 and 2010. Some works by students made "en plein air":

 

Get ready for plein air painting

Winter's almost gone. It's time to get ready for painting outdoors. We will soon be meeting early in the morning on weekends to capture nature's beauty on canvas.

Now is the time to put the techniques we've been studying in our atelier and the training we've had during the winter months into practice. Plein air painting requires efficiency, you need to master the techniques to able to react rapidly to the ever changing lights.

Jacqueline will provide a checklist of the things you need to bring to the plein air sessions.
