Meet your Art Teacher
"For me, learning to draw has always been difficult, mostly due to the negative emotional criticism in my own head. My class with Jessica has been so nurturing and supportive and has provided a safe environment to make mistakes and actually improve my drawing. I can say I’ve gotten past all the negative stuff and am enjoying the process of learning to draw--I think I am hooked."
“Before, I wasn’t spending any time practicing. Now, I know I will continue to improve my attitude. Art is very intimidating for me, but fun for me to share with others. At first I was miserable. Seriously thought of quitting. Because of my habits, I compare myself to others. I cannot tell you the fear and dread I went through! It was a powerful and overwhelming experience. I made myself come back to the lessons until the last day, pushing myself to the edge. Thank you for EVERYTHING!"
Art is War. Prep for Battle like a Badass
Progress through Drawing Drills & defeat creative bad guys in your quest to be a badass artist. See your progress from Day 1 to 30 in your BAD Bootcamp Portfolio online.
I have been helping people make breakthroughs in art for over 10 years. I've taught to all ages in Texas public schools for 5 years, and won "Teacher of the Year" in 2013.
After that, adventure called and I listened, spontaneously moving to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico where I created Studio Antonelli.
This is where I taught the most popular beginner drawing classes in this gorgeous world famous town.
I now live in a tiny house in Texas and am passionate about permaculture, school gardens and helping friendly people like you improve your art skills!

There is NO TALENT required
to learn to draw better.
The HARD part is getting over perfectionism, procrastination, self-doubt,
and ALL the other "bad-guy" voices in your head that keep you from showing up
to your practice and learning the basics.
BAD Artist Bootcamp
is a 30 day creativity catapult.
Sketchbook. Aim for something you can throw in your bag or carry easily, but still big enough to be comfortable to draw in--around 8 x 10 inches is fine. A basics unlined sketchbook labelled for drawing is great.
Pen & Pencil. A 2B pencil, the yellow ones used in school--It will be all you really need for Bootcamp! If you’ve already got a set of drawing pencils labelled H or any other #B, we’ll show you how to use them. You’ll also want to pack a ball point pen (something with a nice flow of ink).
Lots of Colour. Whether it’s coloured pencils or crayons, you don’t need anything fancy to practice the most emotional element of art. If you have experience with watercolour or acrylic, you may use those as well.
The Essentials: Pencil sharpener & eraser. It’s worth investing in a good quality metal pencil sharpener, instead of the cheap plastic kinds. You may want to bring a kneaded gum eraser or the usual rubber eraser too.
