Description
Jacky Pearson was one of our most popular tutors last year, so we are excited to have her run a workshop for us again this year. Jacky is unable to be with us in person due to travel restrictions between NZ and Australia, so this workshop will be online!
With Jacky, we will look at landscapes and how to add figures into your pictures to bring them to life.
The workshop will be run as 2 x Zoom classes.
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. If you have your video on, 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:
- Good internet connection, to get a reasonable image and sound.
- Download the zoom App, and join 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.

We will get through a couple of A3’s or equivalent- half the full sheet per day and you can paint on either side for economy. Careful with old paper it can go mottled. If you have old paper, 2 years+ test it out with water and reject if it is like blotting paper.

Palette – a decent size for mixing large washes (Warehouse Stationary do a good folding palette).
Art Board large enough to take at least A3 size
Art Board Prop eg a block 30c length 4×2” wood (or box of tissues works too) to tilt art board
