Student Testimonial:
“If you want to confidently draw landscapes and draw them well, Jane
Ramsey’s class is the one for you. Jane is an excellent teacher and
will patiently show you how to look at your subject without being
overwhelmed. During this class she also showed us how to use the
humble eraser and a blending stump as a drawing tool along with
enhancing our drawings, should we wish, with other materials,
including watercolor, pastels and colored pencils. By the end of this
class, we were confidently able to draw subject matter that previously
appeared daunting.” Anu, student
About Jane:
Jane’s love of drawing began as a child with a sketchbook and pencil always in hand. She grew up in the village of Lumberville in Bucks County, Pennsylvania immersed in a community of artists. Her sketchbook is still very much part of her life and integral to informing her plein air and studio work – working both in graphite and watercolor. “I love the possibilities of creating expressive drawings using such simple tools – paper, pencil and eraser!” Learn more at www.janeramsey.com
