It's all about painting loose wet-in-wet shapes and mark-making to create this watercolor and ink abstract painting.
Your Instructor
The luminosity of watercolors is what fascinates and draws me to this medium. I like creating textures and continually try to stretch the boundaries of watercolor. I experiment with materials and media to get the results I want.
I studied painting at the Rhodesian School of Art in Zimbabwe and for four years in California with master watercolorist, Jerry Stitt, AWS.

I love Jean's classes. They are such a calming way to approach watercolour. It’s fun and loose and the results are amazing! Even if each and every one you do is not worthy of framing, they will certainly help with letting go and reducing stress levels! :-) Thank you so much Jean!

I have been searching for a watercolor teacher whose aesthetic is similar to mine....kind of abstract and loose. Finding Jean Lurssen was truly a gift from the gods! Her explanations, techniques and pacing of the course were perfect and listening to her lovely accent and her calm delivery of the content was mesmerizing! The key element that I will take into my own work is to let the watercolor paint run free. I am reminded of a quote ....unfortunately I can't remember who said it....he was not referring to watercolor but it certainly applies..."Don't push the river....it flows by itself". Thank you Jean for sharing your amazing talent and please know how much you have inspired me!!!!
