I took a drawing class from Jessie through an art group I belong to. She was professional, friendly, and alert to questions from the group. I most appreciated the explanation of value studies as that has been something I have struggled with …

I loved painting with a limited palette. That was an eye opener. […] I do believe with some guidance I can achieve what my mind envisions. Sincerely,”

About the Instructor
My workshops are mostly long-form, giving artists the opportunity to really practice and learn the materials, as well as build a feeling of community. I loved art school, and want my workshops to have that feeling.
My workshops are generally on the topics of color, composition, brush and palette knife marks, and the mental/emotional aspects of art making.
I am a professional artist based in South Dakota, an exhibiting member of Oil Painters of America and the National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Society, an award-winning member of the American Impressionist Society, and a Southwest Art Magazine “Artist to Watch”.
My work focuses on capturing the invisible connection between animals in a group, between animals and the land, and between people – in an unsentimental, painterly style filled with visible brush strokes and palette knife marks. The result is artwork which is often described as ”impressionistic” and “painterly”.
You can see examples of Jessie Rasche’s Artwork here.
My work has been published in many magazines, including:
