The Magic of Tahoe

Your sensibilities will take you on a whirlwind adventure as you discover new materials, textures, and surfaces that you have never through possible.  The process of layering with non-traditional art materials, such as unusual papers, along with acrylic paints and inks will move you into a unique expressiveness in you work.  The white surface of the layered paper are the building tools of the painting.  The various mediums and textures such as printing and imbedding will be used to develop the layering and sculptural effect. 

Jan's energetic style creates an infectious atmosphere in the classroom.  She is very selective with her workshops and wants to keep each one varied and special, as she strives for a different essence of the painting experience; therefore, she teaches only six workshops each year.
