Secrets of Art
Art Foundation/ Master Class Course with Jeanni
My bespoke art classes are inspiring, fun, eye-opening and suitable for all ages and abilities, as featured in Cornwall Today and the West Briton.
My unique approach draws out your potential by giving you self-confidence, awareness and a fundamental tool kit of artistic knowledge to build on. I reveal some of the methods of the old masters and the underlying psychology, physiology and physics to explain a host of  how's and why's in creating three dimensional, emotional artwork. Students make progress quickly as you can see in the video below!

Course 1
Draw Out Your Potential

Sketch

A fun and informative experience which allows you to understand how we see and translate our environment though our eyes and emotions.

You will learn how to convert this knowledge into three- dimensional engaging images and understand how and why the viewer, of your art works, sees and translates them in their own unique way.


My lessons are all about knowledge not just copying. This means you will gain a skill set of knowledge and the confidence to enjoy creating your artworks whilst expressing yourself with your own unique artistic voice, as you can see above.

​You will complete the course with the eyes of an artist, with the ability to both look and also to truly see!

Perspective

Picture of three ladies learning perspective on the beach with jeanni. Seeing is believing.
Course 2
Change Your Perspective
Perspective


An inspiring walk across a beautiful  beach (or landscape) observing perspective in action. Experience as we all know is always the greatest teacher.

I shall point out and explain theories of eye level,  vanishing points, focal points, atmosphere, refection, distance, shadows, ratios, ellipses and much more in a fun and engaging way, so you can see and experience perspective first hand.

I have worked with a wide variety of people and a number of architects. All have commented on my unique approach and how easy it is to understand the sometimes complex concepts of perspective.

As the course progresses I draw up the required information to remind you of all the concepts we cover.  

​Paint

Course 3
See The Bigger Picture
​Paint


The paint course can stand alone but also consolidates the previous two courses.

The painting course adds colour and paint to your knowledge base.


You will learn about colour theory, atmospheric perspective, some of the history of specific colours and the different paint types available and what the benefits and characteristics of each are.

You will also experience different paint brushes and specific techniques and methods to enhance direction, shape, mood, depth of field, focal areas and emotional engagement.

​The 'Secrets of Art' course concludes with the completion of your own painting.

Now the adventure can really begin with extension classes using your newly developed skills...

Art Extension 
​Classes

available after completing the three part course


​This is your chance to develop, enhance and manipulate your newly acquired artistic knowledge into unique artworks in your own style as can be seen below.

Comments about my art lessons by previous students
​

"Dear Jeanni, Thank you so much for helping us to see in a new light! Even if I turn out not to be a great artist, I think having a new approach to seeing will even make us better scientists - it is always good to take a step back from what you think you already know! Many thanks and all the best!"
Nick
"A real eye-opener, a different way of looking at everything, seeing so much more, very exciting and informative. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed the lesson."
Jo
“I found the art lessons with Jeanni both helpful and inspiring.”
Sir John Chalstrey
Lord Mayor of London 1995
“Thank you Jeanni for my art lessons which taught me to look at life in a different way. Also for the wonderful portrait catching the mystical part of me.”
Shirley Churchill-Simmonds
( Pen Name... Shirley Faulkner-Horne authoress of “Pathway of the Moon”)
""For someone whose last encounter with drawing was as an incapable school boy, it was a great surprise to produce something that was even remotely recognisable as a human face! The whole session was a most enlightening exploration of how we think about representation and how to translate that into practice.  Many thanks!"
Bill
