“I want art that looks like everyone else,” said no one EVER! When you begin to understand the basic underlying structure [the values] and where to place them, your work will become strong and you will feel confident. When this happens your creativity will soar!

Hi, I’m Jeanette Goulart and my passion is design and simplifying the design in abstract art.

Since design makes up 95% of the painting, why not take the time to understand design? This is just the beginning, once you clearly understand values and value placement, YOU become the designer of your art! YOU decide what goes where. That canvas is YOUR playground. THAT’S SO EXCITING!! There are so many different design possibilities to choose from!

Still not sure... Here are some kind words from past students

Jeanette’s studio and courses are a gift of Art Grace. I have been an impressionistic representational artist for many years, I needed a place to feel a renewed creative spark, to get in touch with inherent imagination, and let the place that the spirit grows free to speak in symbols of markings, and choices of color and brush strokes. Jeanette teaches and allows the flow of creativity to happen. I have encouraged the beginner as well as the experienced to take one of Jeanette Goulart’s courses. It is the warm up, the encouragement to participate in the creative expression that is inside each of us. So many people think that they can’t be artistic. Take one of Jeanette’s courses to dispel that myth.
Karlene Kay RyanBefore taking Jeanette’s course I would be apprehensive about making a stroke or mark on my paper or canvas. Jeanette has taught me how to not be afraid to start and not get all caught up in the end result which was hindering me from even beginning. By letting go of the result it has created freedom for me to get excited about a blank paper or canvas, paint, markers and a variety of tools. Jeanette has helped me see that the work is inside of me and the possibilities are endless.
Michelle KochBeginners and professionals have taken this course and here are some things they have to say about it. Your workshop has been a life-altering experience, knowing it's in there, but not knowing where to begin.
Gwen B. MooreThank you for your great sense of teaching and really simplifying art. I have learned to try new things and practice them in a lot of different ways. The course is not overwhelming and because your personality is calm, easy, and simple, we have no fear of showing our work.
Johanne RousseauNever had so much fun starting on a white sheet of paper. Loving your approach and these fearless painting exercises.
Elizabeth VulfsBig thanks for all your guidance, enthusiasm, energy, and knowledge. Every single video was helpful.
Blanca G. AquinoThank you for this marvelous course, I have new tools for composition, makes total sense.
Ellen DonnellyThere hasn't been an abstract I've finished that I didn't use one of your lessons to push me through. Your course opened up so many ideas and avenues of problem-solving even in my representational work.
