​Sketching the rural beauty of Brittany, France in mixed media with Jessica Moore and Jeromy Young. Join us in our journey to capture the jagged coasts, medieval villages, forests and monolithic rock formations with ink wash, gouache, and pen and ink. Learn a great layering technique that will have you creating fresh and colorful pieces of art.
​

All levels are welcome, even if you have little or no experience.
We work with each student's skill level and abilities from beginner to advanced.

Jeromy and I are excited to be able to go and teach in Brittany. Sarah Castille organized everything, she lives there and knows the area very well. We will be staying in the Manoir Cache in Merdrignac. You can either have a room to yourself, or share a room for a discount if you have someone else that you would like to travel with. Sarah will also provide all transportation from the train station to the Manor, and for all excursions. 

In Brittany we will mostly be working small, and primarily sketching. We want to make sure that no one gets overwhelmed, and that the techniques that we use will give great results without having to be a master. The essence of a sketch or study is imperfection. 

We will be capturing our amazing experiences by sketching with pencil or pen and ink, and working on top of the sketches with ink wash and gouache. All will be captured in a journal or sketch book, some plein air, some in the Manor studio. It's going to be so much fun!

There will also be a day of printmaking where we will be creating an accordion book full of silkscreen prints of our sketches to commemorate our trip. To top it off, there will be a cooking demonstration and a presentation on how to brand yourself and your artwork. 

Please see below for the France summer art workshop, art lessons itinerary and activities where you'll find all of the details and places that we will be exploring, the amazing coast, medieval villages, forests and megalithic stone formations. 

Please feel free to call us with any questions or to reserve your spot,

Thanks, and we hope that you'll be able to join us! -Jessica & Jeromy

"Whimsical Tales Reimagined", Oil on linen by Jessica E. Moore

It is rewarding to help and engage students to become more active in the creative process.  I want to inspire creativity in the environment, and seeing student’s inspiration and enthusiasm is very inspiring and rewarding to me as well.  I intend to create an environment that encourages students to gain the needed skills to become independent, to think critically, and to find resolution in the work.  I want the students to feel comfortable and confident in my classroom. - Jessica E. Moore

​Artist Statement

​This body of work represents a combination of my personal memories and explorations of relationships between humans and animals using a variety of mediums, including printmaking, drawing, and installation. I have lived in or visited Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Thailand. I explore these environments and others, both geographically and psychologically, using nostalgic imagery. I also use reoccurring motifs of animals as a metaphor, as a reference to the essence of the spirit of animals, encapsulating their human qualities. 

Another aspect of my work is the idea of how one rebuilds after turbulent times. Whether people are rebuilding a city after a destructive event or rebuilding themselves after a battle with cancer, there are commonalities. In most cases, weaknesses and fragility are overcome by emerging strengths. This idea that we adapt and reconstruct leads to a question:  How do we go about finding our inner strength following personal or natural tragedies? This is the question I seek answers for, and while I am not sure of all of the ways we achieve this, I do know that we are simultaneously fragile and strong. This is a fundamental quality of humans, the tenacity that defies our fragility. 

This concept of the resilience of the human spirit forms the basis of my work. My investigations of animals helps me understand the combination of fragility and emerging strengths.
