Study with Jeanne online, with Epiphany Fine Art
What people are saying...
I can’t express how grateful I am for your mentorship. I took my first in person class with you seven years ago and I have been a member of your Epiphany on line classes since its inception. You are an amazing and inspiring teacher and have helped me follow my passion for art. Thank you for all your support and encouragement to become a better artist. - Larry Risigo Feb 2025
Your videos are head and shoulders above most Patreon or You Tube. They are clear, reasoned, with practical tools that one can refer back. I look at your lessons as a gift, I now know how to make that plan so I can achieve the work I want, I do not spend days looking at a painting not knowing how to accomplish my vision. Thanks so so much, --Christine Heroy
For the past three years I have partnered with Epiphany Fine Art, an online art academy to create my Pastel Playbook: information and experience gained from over twenty years of painting and teaching pastels. Epiphany Fine Art was created by Matt Miller, a colleague of mine at the Copley Society and Reena Bates, who like me, strongly believe that art is a skill like reading and writing, which can be taught and learned and should be accessible to all.
In this video library, you'll have access to all my lessons, tips, and techniques in one place, accessible at your convenience and on your schedule. Whether you're just thinking about experimenting with pastel or you are a seasoned painter, I want to help you move further along in your journey. If you're familiar with my weekly classes or any of my workshops, you know that there is information for all levels offered in my presentations.
Membership is subscription-based, ($35 per month) and you have full access to all of my videos as long as you have your membership, with new videos added each month. For less than the cost of a three-day workshop, you have access to a complete and growing library of all my videos for an entire year, on demand. Content is organized into self-directed workshops, and includes a section for beginning pastelists. Here is a sampling of what's currently available on the site:
Color Fundamentals Workshop including:
- Seeing Value
- How to Create Glow
- The Beauty of Neutrals
- Understanding Color Temperature
- Creating Sunlight and Shadow
- Getting Greens Right
Loosen Up Workshop including:

Packed with information, these videos can be watched and rewatched. They are permanently available as long as you have your subscription.
The collection will grow monthly as I record new lessons and demos. I have a long list of topic ideas, but would love to hear your requests!
I invite you to visit the site, check out the free sample videos, and if you're interested, join me!
In addition to professionally-edited recorded videos, several live demo events have been recorded, and more are planned. They're open both to subscribing members and the public (details and dates below). The recordings will be available for three weeks to non-members, and indefinitely on the site to members.

RECENT STUDENT COMMENTS
"I have looked at/paid for/practiced for over two years and never really "got" how to work with value, intensity, neutrals, temperature. Your exercises with the strips, boxes, etc. have been lightbulb moments. I don't think I will ever paint again without a page of value strips next to me so I can tell what value my color really is. I am excited to keep on going."—T.M., Austin, Texas
I just spent the morning watching your demo, and I have to say thank you!! Wow to the colors, wow to the luminosity, wow to some of your tricks of the trade. I'm a happy camper. —Peggy V.
