Your satisfaction is extremely important to us. We’re eager to hear all about the magical moments your little Picassos and Monets experienced, so please take just a minute to let us know what we’re doing well by completing this short survey. And if there’s anything you’d like to see done differently, don’t hesitate to tell us.
When Painting Plein air or in the studio, we all are striving to create elegant and creative landscapes. When we were in elementary school, our teacher taught us how to draw a tree. We of course made a big green ball with a brown straight trunk coming out of it. It’s taken 40 years to get over that ingrained image. We will have 4 sessions going over all foliage: drawing calligraphic grasses and trees and limbs. Turning your brush to create elegant lines with the least amount of effort. How do you draw big bunches of flowers? Our initial start is to draw each flower and ignore how our eyes really see bunches of flowers…shapes, variety and transition of light to lead the eye in the right direction.
Getting good at painting a scene that you would walk by a thousand times, and never pay attention to, could be the most exciting part in this journey to become a great painter.
We are the artists…We don’t accept the given image because we want to make sure our design is as good as can be. We can change the shapes, move things around, push the light for drama and add atmosphere when you might not see it in your chosen image.
At iur first session we will review other artists that have expertise in our type of trees and foliage techniques. We will go over their work and hopefully will inspire you to learn from them and add different techniques to your own paintings. Howard will then do a short demo at the start of each class based on the subject that we are working on for that class.
Over the next 3 sessions we will cover everything that has been part of your landscape painting journey: Colors of the landscape, brush technique, texture, atmosphere, moving objects around to create great design, seeing the shapes of beautiful objects, edges, arial perspective and picking a pleasing subject.
There is lots of learning to do and with practice, you will start to SEE the possibilities and how every 5 degree turn is a beautiful painting…waiting to be painted.

About Jesse Lane:
Through art, I’ve been able to find something inside myself that changed my life.
Growing up, I often felt alone. In school, I was struggling with the challenges of dyslexia. I desperately wanted to find a place in life where I didn’t feel inferior. For years, I bottled up my feelings. Then I realized they could be a source of inspiration. I began creating images of personal struggle and intimate emotion. What was hidden for so long became voiced and heard. For the first time, I felt truly seen. I took my weakness and made it my strength. Along the way, I’ve discovered we all share these feelings. They are universal.
When people see my portraits, they’re surprised I work in colored pencil. I love the precision and versatility of colored pencil. This medium can be as rich and nuanced as any other. One of my goals is to advance colored pencil in the world of fine art.”
Jesse Lane (born 1990) lives in The Woodlands, Texas, near Houston. His earliest teacher was his father, Jerry Lane, a former illustrator and underground cartoonist.
Jesse earned a degree in visualization from Texas A&M University. He also studied art in Italy, where he was greatly influenced by the lighting and drama of the master painter Caravaggio.
Jesse’s compelling portraits have appeared on the covers of publications including International Artist and The Artist’s Magazine. Southwest Art Magazine recognized him as one of the nation’s leading young emerging artists, and he’s been featured numerous times in American Art Collector.
Numerous awards include top honors from the Salmagundi Club, International Artist Magazine, the Colored Pencil Society of America and the Hudson Valley Art Association. Jesse has also been a finalist several times in theInternational Art Renewal Center Salon.
Jesse is represented by RJD Gallery in Bridgehampton, New York.
