Students in the new space at Balmain

Students busy in the vibrant day classes, Balmain

I've started the Friday day classes at St John's Church, Balmain (corner Spring St and Birchgrove Roads). The parking is really easy, the space is large and light-filled, there are wall heaters, a new kitchen and toilets, lots of tables and chairs, and great students! The class has been going well, and the feedback from students is that it's a wonderful space. I can now easily accommodate some more students. Time is 10-2:30pm . Come join us! Cost is $75/class for 6 class bookings.

I've also mooted a Thursday night class, to accommodate some full time workers who want to join my classes, so let me know if that suits. Time is 6:30-9pm at the same venue, cost is $50/class for a term booking (6 classes $300). Classes commence on August 4th.

If you are interested, see www.gabriellejones.com.au and follow the workshops link for more information, or you can comment on this blog or email me through the contacts page on the website, and I'll get back to you ASAP.

What my students say:

Gabrielle is able to clearly understand the

preferences and strengths of every pupil. She

is therefore able to help them maximise their

potential through individual attention within her

friendly and supportive group classes. She gives

both practical instruction in colour appreciation,

composition, etc… and thoughtful ideas to

stimulate creativity. She also provides honest

and constructive feedback to her pupils. Above

all, Gabrielle exhibits a passion and enthusiasm

for her subject that is transmitted to everybody

around her.

Susan, Avalon

Thank you Gabrielle for all your fabulous

workshops, I look forward to learning more under

your generous guidance. Gabrielle’s workshops

are always full of both inspiration and knowledge

as well as constructive critique and direction for

your own work.

Galia, Ryde

I have been to a number of Gabrielle’s private art

classes and I hope to go to many more. I originally

came to learn about painting with acrylics but

I have learnt so much more. Gabrielle has an

immense amount of knowledge about art in

her head and can hardly wait to impart as much

of it as possible to you (in a good way!). I have

just learnt so much, ranging from landscape to

abstract to still life and everything in between.

I have also learnt about the importance of tone,

mixing from a limited palette, warm and cool

colours and how they can change depending on

their relationship to each other and that’s just for

starters! Gabrielle is also very generous with her

knowledge and always encouraging which is so

important to any artist.
