We had nearly 20 participants working through the Zoom technology from their home studios while Jacky delivered an excellent all day (2 sessions) lesson from her studio in New Zealand.
Jacky dealt with landscapes and how to add figures into our pictures to bring them to life. Progress pictures were captured through each lesson section, Jacky followed up to all participants by sending a detailed record of each step in the lesson, and lots of very valuable general sketching and watercolour painting tips long garnered from her extensive teaching experiences.
Due to the COVID19 lock-down, a number of Australian Art Teachers have started teaching via Zoom: for many, the zoom teaching experience has advantages over the classic classroom art lesson.
In her follow up to the workshop participants, Jacky noted, ” Mind you, some of the feedback is that on Zoom you get a really clear view of each brush stroke from the camera directly over the painting without anybody standing in the way – so Zoom tuition does have advantages! ”
Thank you Jackie for a great experience!
Jacky was unable to come in person, however agreed to run an on
line workshop for us via Zoom in June 2020
The total watercolour workshop ran over 2 zoom sessions – one in the morning and one in the afternoon. (9 -11:30 am and 1:30-4 pm)
Jacky has been running her regular classes via Zoom, so has her camera set up so you can see her painting clearly. During the zooms, Jacky will do a step by step demo, and you will paint with her, and Jacky will give online, real time reviews of your work to help you along, just as she would in person. Jacky can see you also, and you can ask questions, and show her your progress during the class.
As an added bonus, after the course, she will send you a more detailed review of your work and a summary of the lesson’s demos and pictures in pdf.
To attend a Zoom class, you will need the following things:
Use your Laptop or your iPad. (Mobile phone can be used except the screen may be a little small)
Good internet connection, to get a reasonable image and sound.
Download the free zoom App, and join the meeting by using the link we will send out.
Jacky will also run a free online trial zoom review of your general work the day or two before the class to help you try out Zoom and get it running comfortably.
Date: 20th June 9 -11:30 am and 1:30-4 pm
Location: Online via Zoom. Details of meeting and password will be sent to attendees
